Canoe Point Dusk & Last Rays of the Sun
« on: May 22, 2014, 07:32:41 am »

Comments and suggestions for improvements for the following two images welcome. Both are stitched panoramas taken just 4 minutes apart. The first looking east (Canoe Point Dusk) with the soft pink/purple clouds and the second looking west (Last Rays of the Sun) with the fiery red clouds. One of the best sunsets I have seen for a very long time. Both these images are for my portfolio for sale as fine art prints in the local area.

Cheers,

Gary

I like the first one very much, although it seems perhaps a little too mauve. The extensive dark black areas in the second distract from the wonderful sky.

My compliments on both!

Nitpicks: there is a halo in the first one. I hope it is due to jpeg compression, and not in the print. In the second one, I would open shadows a bit, still holding some, relatively small, remaining areas as pure black.

Thank you both for the comments. I will rethink the post processing.

Cheers,
