Twisleton Scar End

Sunset from the edge of the limestone pavement above Ingleton in Yorkshire. A day of blue skies until 30 minutes before sunset when a few clouds appeared to add a little colour. Ken

I do like how the mackerel sky mimics the limestone pavement

Like the composition, too. This "wedge" is almost like an arrow showing the direction the tree goes.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Excellent.

[KMRennie]

Thanks for the positive comments Bill, Stefan and Eric they keep me posting. Looking at it now I think that the bank of mist in the valley is too bright, probably when I merged the sky and foreground exposures together. Ken

Ken, I want to like this more than I do. Great framing, but something doesn't gel for me. Maybe shoot a little lower to simplify the scene by omitting the green hills? One element too many?

[KMRennie]

Thanks Scott. The only problem I was lying on the ground with camera 6" off the ground. The ground behind me was slowly rising so moving backwards dropped the tree into the ground more and I preferred it more against the sunset. I could and probably should have tried moving forward with a 16mm lens, this was 24mm but I didn't think about it until too late. Ken

[Paulo Bizarro]

Very good one.
