Sky on fire

Please comment on my below shot. How can I make it better?

Nice colors.. but the horizon seems a little too empty.
Just my 0.002.

I love this picture. The empty horizon have imbue a kind of serene feeling, which make the fiery sky all the more contrasting and beautiful. I also like the way you have introduce the light and darkness within the frame, almost representing the struggle between day and night, light and darkness.

I have slight problem though with the two brightly lit objects (ships) in the horizon in the dark part of the frame. Seems to take unwanted attention away from the whole scene.

funny...why do you need a subject in this shot?

Thanks for all the comments.

The intension of this shot is to show the contrasting effect of the beautiful sky. So in fact the subject of this photo is the sky.

If you don't mind, please elaborate how to introduce a subject in the foreground making the photo more interesting.

Tilted horizon ?

khairi · 23rd February 2006

first look at the photo...it's clearly abt the sky and the sea...
well of course the horizon looks tilted a lil
the way i see it, i dont really make the sky as the subject, but the
whole photo as the subject.
until today, i'm still thinking on how to intro a subject from this
foto's pov, as mentioned by flyingfish.
