Sunset at Okiwi

Comments would be appreciated on this one. I was trying to show some

depth here: the ride with the trees (bottom) was a lot closer than the

mountains behind it.

 

Does the overexposure bother you? I really liked the light falling

out of the sky, and wanted to show the rays. In terms of metering

this was rather hellish. Let me know if you like it. Any suggestions

for improvement would be welcome.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Tom

I like it, feel free to rate and comment on my stuff, thanks!

 

I like it. The blown highlight lends a sense of balance to the deep, rich blacks. I find the misty light in the middle, outlining the mountain ridge so well, to be the best thing about the image. And the details of the dark foreground add a welcomed sharpness to juxtapose the misty, soft feeling of the rest of the image. Good placement of elements too.

Here's something I took with my Sony digicam that has a similar sort of feel in some ways: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2573878
