Description Canon Digital Rebel XSi
Tamron 10-24mm
3 shot HDR (-2, 0, +2)

While in Kansas for Thanksgiving, I had the wonderful opportunity of shooting a fiery Kansas sunset. Ran a couple hundred yards from my grandma's house into a field to take this one. A simple composition, but I believe if you've witnessed such a scene in the Great Plains, it will seem quite familiar
If you're just getting into HDRi and you're looking for a challenge, I suggest trying an HDR of a sunset. Exposing the foreground and the sky evenly is a very difficult task. I know I couldn't have processed this so well a year ago. It really takes time, and if you look back at my early HDRs, you'll see how much I've improved.

Please tell me what you think!

Indeed! And it's so flat, there's always a good view of the sunset and storms

I derive so much from art.
Not only what is obvious but also what is hidden within.
A piece of the artist is always left for us, to see and admire.
A uniqueness that makes an artist stand out and for us to look on in awe....

Gorgeous color; I have personally never been the any part of the Great Plains (Alberta doesn't really count) and for me, that means going to Sasketchewan.
And your HDRs=........improved!

Kind of ties into the comments about pictures of seaside sunsets.
Instead you have "amber waves of grain".
