Description Every day you may look up at the sky and see some new sky, never until that moment ever seen by another human being - and then a moment later, it's gone, never to be seen again..

Thank you! Some people say sunsets and sky shots are overdone - and I am guilty - but by golly, you can look at that same patch of sky every day and see something different...

i like the fitting duotone in the image. to me the two trees appear to compliment each other to, um, take away the feeling of solitude.

Nah... I don't usually tweak my photos other than hazy-day contrast adjustments... This was all natural.

I understand! I tend to take out haze and stuff and/or ever so slightly adjust contrast - but on ones that I over do it, I see it pretty quick and I don't like it...

I love this, just one thing which bugs me(and I have done the same time and time again) is some of the cloud edges have been blown out by all that gorgeous light. Such a hard photo to take, I'm not even sure if it's possible to not blow out the clouds in this instance.
But like I said, great shot

arkansawyer In reply to Assassinatorsalbum [2008-05-14 12:44:51 +0000 UTC]

The shots I had which didn't were too dark to quite "capture" the feel that this one portrays... I appreciate it!
