Tonights sunset
Anyone catch the sunset tonight? I took this image tonight driving home from a workshop at sunset. This location is about 15 minutes from my house out in the farm country . I was hoping for a more dramatic subject but this is the best I could do since I was heading home not expecting this light..The FG is a bit soft, but oh well.. it was a nice sunset and a nice way to end a busy day.... I seem to be locked in on trees recently!--JG---

Fantastic layering here Jack. My only nit would be to brighten (or clone out) that little dark line of cloud on the left.

The 'bit soft foreground' keeps you looking into the picture. I would also get rid of the dark cloud line, my eye goes right to it. :)

This is very nice Jack, especially for the spur of the moment capture that it was.

Nice composition Jack. The backlighting of the oaks is beautiful. I'd fix the dark cloud as suggested by John and Cliff.
