Ok' I hope this works. I want ot make sure I am doing things correct for the contest. Please comment, good bad or indifferent. I would have just uploaded a jpg but they appear to be large than what is allowed in the thread.

Just use the insert image button right above where you type (it's yellow and looks like a little mountain) it will show like it does in my post here.
I like the image. It seems just a tad light to me. If you can get to the same spot I would re shoot a few times trying out different exposure settings. I would also re frame the shot to include a little more ground.

Also it shows in the information that it has been modified. Make sure you check that before you submit and be sure the Modified and Taken time are the same.

I agree with Chandlerja that there is a little too much sky and not enough ground but other than that great shot, great mountains in the background.

What a lovely sky! Would be great to see a bit more of the ground if you can reshoot, but I like it.

Thanks for the comments I truely appreciate the help.
I actually did use the insert image button but it only inserted the hyper link anymore feed back on this would be great also I noticed when I loaded my new pictures I took tonight that the time showed when I took them and then when I loaded them, any help to clear this up would be great as well.

Thanks for your comments I know what you are saying. The ground at the bottom is actually a subdivision full of homes and I was finding that it was turning out pretty dark due to the angle of the sun. If I had a gradiant filter, I might try that to soften the contrast but of coarse that one is still on the wish list. Any ideas you may have would be helpful.

Thanks for your comments.

It won't be an issue to reshoot, these were taken of my deck looking over the Straight of Georgia on Vancouver Island. My big struggle is shooting near dusk the subdivision in the lower part of the picture is pretty much in shadows. Should I still add it?

WhatSheSaw

Nice back yard! I often shoot sunsets in my neighborhood and try to keep the neighborhood out of the frame. If your neighborhood is in shadow, then I'd say that's a good thing.

I like the sky a lot and the exposure - I would too include a little more ground. Very nice!
