Sunset...

[Mikhaily]

Taken from the park behind my house. Its not anything special [ and its not cropped ] as its one of my first pictures taken with my new camera [ S3 IS ] and was wandering how the colours came out? If the composition was good? ie. what do you guys think... Im not looking just for good comments, id like some organized critism to improve further shots!

The tree is straight but judging from the vents in the roof tops I'd say the tree grew crooked and your horizon is off. I would also like to have more interest in the foreground silhouette. It may just be a silhouette but there is nothing of interest there. It is a pretty colored sunset though.

Probably could do with some -.ve EC to redue the blown highlights from the sun.

Okay Im not sure if the tree is straight or if the chimmneys are straight.. I was standing on a hill [ the houses are also on a hill ] and holding the camera above my head [ thanks to the movable LCD ] so I dont think I was holding the camera very straight. Can you adjust EC on PS? [ Dont use it very often... ]

EXIF DATE - Shutter Speed 1/1614sec , Aperture F/4.5 , Focule Length 28mm , Exposure Compensation 0 Step .

Thanks

Heres is a cropped\edited version. I think the chimmneys made it look funny, and even though I dont like PS'ing I did anyway..

hey mikhaily - nice work! i like the cropped version better. and i actually find it to be a very intereting shot. i like the different shapes, textures, etc. good work!

Nice job on the edited and cropped version. I like the interesting colour/patterns in the sky.
