Little bit of sky
Here's a little bit of sunset this evening at a nearby lake. While it wasn't one of those sky-filling, fantastic sunsets that I love to see, it was still fun to photograph.

Canon 20D
ISO 100
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM @20mm
f/14 for 1/8th of a second

Thanks for looking!

Tim I really like the richness of the colors, very nice. One of my favorite things about this photo is the way you captured the layering of the clouds, they add a sense of depth to the sky and help give it a 3D feel.

Now for the bad news, IMO the rocks on the right command a little too much attention, especially the small one in the lighter patch of water. I think I would have liked to have seen that LR edge of the frame mirror the sky. Just my $.02 worth (that and some dreadlocks will get me a Jamacian dinner!!) :wavey: Thanks for posting!

Really like the colors not over the top saturation very pleasant to look at. I do not know what was to the right of the rocks but if it were more water with rocks I personally would like to see more of the rocks.

Unfortunately, this is a fairly urban lake and there's a road not too much further to the right.

Thanks for the comments!

And Wayne - you make dreadlocks look good!!! :biggrin:
