The colors are just breath taking. Gotta love the Velvia for doing that. :) I think the composition is great but I'm wondering how much you opened the lens up for this shot. Its seems like the landscape behind the trees is just a tiny bit soft which indicates that maybe the DOF could have been a wee bit deeper. But this is very very nice nonetheless.

Seems a bit soft. Generally it's better to manually focus sunsets as the AF doesn't do all that well in dark conditions. Also (as mentioned previously) a faster shutter spped will intensify the color and tone down that hot spot. Keep shooting!

Thanks for the kind comments. Just a note, there is no auto-focus on my camera, eventhough I used an AF lens (what can I say, I got a great deal on it and it works great with my older model Nikon FG). Also, this shot was taken as I was driving along a road and happened to be "taken" by the scene, so I quickly pulled off to the shoulder of the road to steal this image -- hand held! Too bad I was in a hurry, but eventho, I was still pretty happy with the outcome.

I love the composition and the colour in this one, Brigitte. I hope you have a vertical shot of this as well, just in case a magazine wants it.

Maarten, here's the vertical I had of this scene. Hope you like it. My preference is the horizontal actually, but both have a pleasing perspective to offer. Thanks for the kind remarks.

I am so glad you captured it too. This is an incredible sunset. Great colors and silhouette. Nice work. Thanks for your comment on "Dressed in White". I found this peacock not too far from where I live. Alamo TN.

Hi Maarten, sorry it took so long to respond. Thank you very much for the kind comments and guess what? I happened to have a vertical too... it does look different though... what do you think? Which is your preference?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I edited out the stump which I thought was distracting. And added a frame. Here's the same thing done with the horizontal image. What do you think?

Hi Brigitte,
I must confess that the horizontal version is better and I think the reason for that is the fact the sunset is diminished by the inclusion of the tree tops. This is still a great picture.
Best regards,
Maarten
