Sunset with ashes
Last Wednesday I took this picture during sunset while we were promised a red sunset thanks to the vulcanic ash cloud. The red sunset works, but later on they told us that the cloud was not here at that moment.

Hope you like this picture. I have more of them which you can see on

The text is Dutch, but the most important text is photographic language, so clear to everybody.

Exif for this one:
WB: manual 8100K, 25sec, F22, 16 mm, ND.3 + ND.9 filter
C&C as always welcome.
Thanks.

Stunning light and detail in the Fg Tom. I might remove that very bright line at the end of the concrete defence as it pulls my eye a little. Otherwise very nicely done and well exposed.

A beautiful light Tom and a stunning image. I agree with Brett, the converging lines meet at that light area which does pull the eye rather, but never the less great work.

Keep the white line, as there are none in the sky!! The power of Nature has removed the curse of the landscape photographer. Long may it continue. :biggrin: :smile: :wink:

I like this a lot. Converging lines, triangles and reflecting glow in the stones. Very well done indeed!

Fantastic... I go with getting rid of the white line (town lights?) the use of the converging lines is excellent.
