Glowing

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 23, 2013187 views12 comments

We were a group of 4 photographers waiting for the glowing light during the sunset.
I was testing my new HASSELBLAD H4D with 28mm lens.

Saudi Arabia, Hail
H4D 31, 28mm F/11
one single exposure focus was on infinite.

Kindly view the large version

Looking forward to your feedback

very pretty sunset. You might crop a good bit off the bottom and follow the rule of thirds. Then you would direct our view right to the subject and sunset. IMO, I don't think all that sand in the FG adds to the photo.

I am not sure about cropping much out of the foreground as I like the way the clumps of dried out vegetation lead into the frame! Nice work!

Really an awesome image Waleed. The desert floor looks moody and the sky is very striking. The faint outline of the distant hills are very pleasing to me.

This is very nice. Beautiful color and mood, and like John I really enjoy the distant hills. Some wonderful clouds here too.

Wonderful sky and color, Waleed. Excellent detail throughout. I would agree about cropping some off the bottom. On my monitor there appears to be a halo around each of the rock stacks in the photo. Nicely done.

Great sunset.

I too think a little crop off bottom might work

Really nice sunset image Waleed. Lovely sky. I would agree with a bit off the bottom but is very nice as is.

I don't think it needs a crop at all Waleed, I like all the space in the landscape, it shows off the vastness. The sky looks amazing.

A great sunset landscape with lots of depth and presence, Waleed! You did a great job with the exposure, especially for a single shot. I like the realistic light levels in the foreground and the nice detail in the shadows. Well done!
