Stormy Sunset at Sunset Cliffs

I've had a lot of distractions from photography lately including a complete redesign of my site. It's not quite done yet, but I discovered this image hidden away on a hard drive while I was looking for other graphics.

C&C always welcome! :thumb

    I like it Chris thumb.gif
    Nice use of long exposure and a nice, soft sunset. Is there any detail to be had in the reflecting pool to bring out the pinks reflected from the sky above? I'm on a crappy monitor at work so forgive me if they are there and I just can't see them.

    Thank you, Eyal!
    There's a tiny little hint of a reflection in the pool right now. I did my best to emphasize it a little more with some exposure blending, but couldn't get anything that didn't scream "Faked!" so I left it subtle.

    Subtle beauty, Chris--lovely soft colors and great choice of exposure. I'm glad you dug this one up! Can't wait to check out your new site--you know I've always been a fan of your site designs in the past.

    Thank you, Lauren!

    The new design is active, with more content planned, but feel free to give it the once over. I would love to hear what you think of it!

    I do like this shot! Do you have a comp that's shifted up 1/3 so that the pool is in the bottom 1/3 and the sky is the top 2/3?

    I always like going through old photos and finding ones that I was too stupid to notice the first time for whatever reason :)

    I'm really not sure if I have other comps of this particular image. This one was in my "working" folder, separated from the others of the day so I'll have to go on a hunt to see about other comps. I'd like to say "I'll look this weekend" but I think by now you know my processing habits too well to believe that! :D
