single photos Sunset on the Cliffs

Some people may think that the sunset photographs are a routine and kind of boring. My personal approach is that one may always look for some hints hidden in those kind of photographs and may have the taste of looking at them. Let me analyze your photo, I mean personally:

1. The sea surface is sharp and quite detailed. The sky, although it is of the similar color, is hazy and well contrasted with the sea.

2. We may well understand that the earth is round. That's not an invention with a wide-angle but I smiled when I saw it.

3. The photograph may be divided horizontally in almost equal 3 parts. The bottom part is obscure and sunless, it increases the illumination effect of the top.

4. The sea shore traverses in oblique direction, diagonally in the bottom part. Good asymmetry in symmetry.

5. The cliffs are the main objects, I mean the main object is not the sunset, the sea or the sky...They are placed in a virtual intersection point on the sea shore, and are confined to bottom part. The other cliffs are accessory but also contemplating.

6. The sun is not in the middle, and its light reflection on the sea reaches the area inbetween the cliffs. It's a harmony...

In summary, you can educate your thinking by analyzing the photograph, and you can discover the harmony.

That is a nice picture with its own properties. It's not a "cliché".

Sincerely
