Simple Sunset

.

Pretty good. I definitely like the colours and the mood, although I'm not sure about the plant. As the primary subject I would like to seem more colour in it, since it's occupying so much of my view. This was probably difficult given the extreme backlighting, so I would have recommended emphasis on the sunset with the plant as a secondary subject. But that's just me talking :)

I actually like the composition here. The plant is nicely silhouetted against the sunset adds interest to the scent. I don't think that the plant is large enough to dominate the scene and is positioned well on the right hand side. The exposure is excellent as well. Question: Did the Rebel do this, or were you set to manual? The reason I ask is that I have an Elan 7E which pretty much has the same zone metering system as the Rebel 2000.

Charles, thanks for the comment. I can't tell you for sure whether I used the Rebel's autofocus or not -- it was a long time ago. I'd say that -- knowing me -- it was probably auto, though. Back then I didn't trust my eye enough to try out manual focusing more than, say, 10% of the time...

 

Note, too, that I have an EOS Rebel G. I know the 2000 is very similar, but I don't know if it uses the EXACT same focusing system.
