Silhouette sunset

Jet

Merry Christmas to everyone!
Took this pic few weeks back when I was walking along the beach... although you cant tell because the sun sets over the land

If you have any feedback it would be nice, as I want to increase the quality of my shots (don't we all) and that would help. Thanks

Hi Jet, thanks for sharing a sunset in Oz! In a community this size, response rates can go up and down. There are way more guests and lurkers on here that can't or don't comment but read, so never fret.

I love the clouds in your shot, and the light is beautiful. I would look at your scenes before you hit the shutter and think about what it is that draws your attention. Is it the tree? The texture in the sky? Reflections of the light on something? And whatever it is, try to showcase it. If the silhouette is what you're after, fill the frame with it, etc.

Easier said than done, I know. You tend to hear "Crop closer" or "Get there 30 minutes earlier" more often... which can also be good advice.
