Mojave sunset

This was taken last night (December 27th) near Mojave. The colors and contrast could have

been pumped up a bit, but I didn't want to darken the sky too much so the Joshua tree could

still contrast with the sky.

All coments welcome.

Thanks,

Jim

I like this photo but I think you need to be closer to the tree. As you can see there is a lot of blank space in the upper left of the frame. Getting closer and moving the tree slightly left would make this really great. Still, not a bad effort!

Thanks Ron. I am posting a shot that I took earlier that is closer to the tree. See what you think.

Beautiful sunset, Jim. The shapes and colors of the clouds are unique. Perfect use of the silhouettes to attain this excellent composition. A high quality image ! Regards.

There looks like some wild lens distortion on the lower right corner.

Magnifica imagen , color , encuadre y belleza, un cordial saludo Jim, happy Year 2006.

Jim,

Great Sunset! But after looking at the image you linked (100_7009.gif), that is the one you should have used. Wonderiful work.

very nice.........regards

Beautiful shot,the photo closer to the tree looks fantastic.

I too like the closer view of the Joshua tree. Way to go! It's a wonderful shot.

My Vote is for "Close Tree"... nicely done
