WV Sunset

I thought this WV sunset rivals our famous AZ sunsets...rare though it is I want to keep the sky because of the varied colors and if I crop the river it looses the pretty sunset reflection, so I hope the division is not centered too much.

    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    The color and cloud details are great. The left/right centering doesn't really bother me because the hill on the right, to my eye, shifts the emphasis to that side.

    Thanks...I was hoping the different heights on each side would work it.

    Beautiful sunset!

    If the centering bothers you, consider cutting the right one-sixth out of the picture, changing the aspect ratio so that it becomes an 8x10 instead of an 8x12. I do like this change, though it is personal preference.

    Thanks for the comment. I agree; I too enjoy sunsets. Though they are probably the most photographed scene...I never tire of them!
