180 degrees

While waiting for "the moment" in the western sky for a sunset shot, I jusy happened to look behind me and saw this. I got some nice sunset images, but I learned my lesson to keep my head on a swivel.

Yes, a good philosophy which i completely agree with--dont forget to swivel the rest of your baody too though, otherwise your neck will suffer...
As for the photo--i love the comp, but dont care for the white vignette--the photo is artsy enough and needs no extra 'help' IMO. :wavey:

In agreement with Stan. Lovely scene. Maybe add a touch more contrast. The reverse vignette detracts for me, especially with its relatively harsh transition.

Yes, I've found a lot of images with the head swivel! I like the comp, not the vignette, and would suggest that this looks a little flat. Possibly increase contrast?
