Description The last sunset of 2004.

I had trouble categorising yet again... something tells me it shouldn't be in the animal, plants & nature section, given that we have a dominant man-made structure right in the middle of the photograph, and yet, I couldn't seem to find anywhere else to put it.

Sunsets are sunsets... they're all beautiful. I think what makes a good sunset photo is a point of interest that isn't the sky. Just my opinion... I'd love to hear yours.

How do you do all this. *cries* I have a lot to learn!!! Sorry.. I'm leaving a lot of comments.. but I think the sunsets, differences in textures and colours (and the richness of them) really determines some of the shots against the rest... This is a great example of that!

Very pretty. I think it would go in the architecture section too since the structure you see visibly is at right angles to the clouds. I think its a good combination. Either way nice work.

Amazing photo.. The different layers of clouds are so smooth and vivid. They also make a great contrast to the chimney pots in the foreground.
If it were not for the chimney pots, then it would seem like we were gazing in to the tumultuous cloud tops of Saturn or Jupiter...

This is really nice, really beautiful. I love the colures of the sky, and the setting of the sun, such as the different layers of the clouds . The dark silhouette of the object really adds a great effect as does the fact that pic seen to disappears within you frame towards the bottom.

i love sunsets too, that's why i have a couple of them in my gallery and made the ID for ~sunsets
this one is great, what amazing tones in the sky
i think it is in the right category and about your words, i agree and if you add other elements to the photo that could make it even better

Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I would probably love sunrises too, if I could ever get out of bed early enough!

I would have to agree. The man made objects give it a nice focal point and the colors of the sunset make it beautiful. Nice work!

i agree with you. BUT, sometimes that point of interest IS in the sky sometimes you get clouds and light form very interesting designs and shapes. i love the layers of gold here, and the silhouettes are fantastic

You're right... I guess it's just that there are so many photos of sunset (I have joined the sunsets group) and I'm trying to figure out what separates them. Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like it.
