Sunset

This image was my first attempt to use the Canon 420EX flash, I was

trying to see how it worked for fill lighting. I have another version

taken without the flash that isn't quite as dramatic as this shot.

Please comment and rate this image.

 

I like all the contrasts and colors.

It's not the average sunset photo.

The colors are great and it just holds your attention.

Did you use PhotoShop for the contrast or it was an original color? Anyway, I always like the sunset color!

I did minimal adjustments in Photoshop

to this image.

with fill only on the right and absent from the left or bottom foreground, it looks a bit unnatural to me.

I think the flash might have ruined the shot. The branches on the right draw my eye to them. I want to look around them to see what I'm missing. Did you also take the shot without flash? How does it look?

Nice sunset. I like the way the dock leads you out into the water to watch it. Unfortunately, the tree branches sticking in from the side of the frames is very distracting. Especially the one on the right, which seems to have caught some fill flash.
