You caught a very nice sky.

About the 2nd photo. I wish the floating thing on the water wasn't there. While I understand your attempt at adding a foreground interest this one becomes an irritation (IMO). I hope you took more shots from a different angle coz the sky is really nice.

The horizon is also not level.

beautiful sunset - wonderful pinks.

i find both ur shots tilted - making viewing them uncomfortable. intentional?

The second shot is my fav i love the way you used the jetty and floats to make a sweeing line

2nd pic best. But too bad is tilted at an angle which spoilt the entire pic. This opportunity don't happen every time, you know?

hi to u guys,

who hav gave yr valuable comments to my photos,

ha....the photos was not tilted intentionally,

but i guess i was too overwhlmed by the sunset to capture as many image as i can

and jus compose and shoot with0ut watching out for the minor details

i ll be more careful nex time .

tks for the pointers ... and keep the comments coming in

Cheers, Kelvin

Hi Bro

Nice shots. Just one comment. You tend to underexpose.
First shot, I can't really see what much detail.
Second shot, great composition, very aesthetically pleasing, but I wish there was slightly more detail on the left.

I really like the second photograph. I'm not totally crazy about the first one as it seems a bit dark...but then again, what do I know? I really like to colours in the sky and how they're reflected onto the water.

 

[kelvinTan]

hihi ...

tks for the advice .. prob i shld hav used a little fill flash so i can capture more details in the front ... but i guess i wan my highlight to be the water and the beautiful sky i saw hence i didnt emphasis too much on the features on the foreground ....

Will take note of this nex time if i got to encounter such scenery again

Ooo.... the 2nd one did it for me - liked the natural colour captured at the right moment However, yea that tilting horizon - that's the only thing. Bravo !

hi,
1st shot - could be better if the silloutte object is clearer.
2nd shot is great !

Bro. nice sunset.. but watch the horizon.. the tilt makes me feel like a drunk man walking sideways.. haha

Can use photoshop to correct the tilt, change the contrast, saturation etc and maybe add a border or frame.. make it nicer.. that's my normal workflow anyways.. cheers

Hi Vstorm, PsionCraze, DarNikon

Will take note of yr advises and tips ... i ll try to do a little alteration to my image and i ll try to up load it again to see if its better... at the same time i ll try to uplaod some other image for more comments if i can....

Stay tune ...

#2 works for me.

As others have pointed out, horizon is not straight. The floats make a good leading line to guide the eye into the picture.

 

[kelvinTan]

That's nice... did you use any filters there? Sunset filter? :think: The colour, hue, saturation are rich...

 

[kelvinTan]

hi Youhong,

I didnt use any special filter , its jus a UV filter only
i guess the credit has to go to the really beautiful sunset
that day or prob i meter at the right spot to produce the image
