Description
Sunset on Norman Beach, Wilson's Prom, VIC, Australia.Upped the contrast to get a complete silhouette and to heighten the colours, cropped for a better shape and added borders. I'm actually really happy with the result.
One thing; I know I could have made the pose a lot more dynamic and effective for the image. It's a shame, but something to work on, as always.
Critiques welcome, and here's a bonus: you don't even have to use the shiny module!

You've pointed out things that I completely agree with and have been annoyed at myself about for quite a long time. Specifically the silhouette (I'll always regret not putting more thought into it), and the fact that the sky looks pretty overexposed (a consequence of my adjustment of the contrast and such, but something I should have been more careful with).
Thanks again, especially for your advice.

Uh, thanks.
Just a heads up, this website doesn't take kindly to spam, which is what you're doing by sending exactly the same message to a bunch of people in quick succession, advertising your website.
And IF I ever decide to sell my photos, it will be through dA or my own personal website/portfolio.

Hi FullMetalMono,
Please don't be offended by our recruiting users who specifically will have a use for Gnarly Sunset; this isn't spam. Photographers, including yourself, display their talents to be discovered and appreciated. We're informing photographers who take sunset photos about a new resource that can help them monetize their work and expand their reach.
It's cool if you don't have an interest, but the invitation still stands... and you only received it because you shared a photo that fits Gnarly Sunset's ethos. Sell your photos through dA, we support their efforts. We're selling quality products and have sincerely positive goals, too.
Best,
Billy, Gnarly Sunset's Founder

So although I appreciate your attempts to promote your business, I'm simply advising that it's not typically seen as acceptable on this particular website.
Thanks!

Thanks for giving fair consideration to my reply.
When I post in the future, I will make an effort to write more customized comments. I set out doing that, but it's more efficient to copy/paste the bulk of the message.
I vet out the images (filter to find the cream of the crop for compliments), and it was never my intention to diminish user experience.

Are the colors naturally like this? Anyway, amazing shot!

They're very close to the originals, yes, but I did a very small contrast bump to make a complete silhouette, so the colours are a touch more vibrant. I certainly didn't apply any filters.
Thank you.
