[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A busy day was behind us. We were done with our meetings and our work. We were thinking about what the next day would bring. But on our way home, we saw this sunset. And we suddenly knew that it was time to just stop and not worry about tommorrow. We were thankful for this single moment. Precious, unique, made only for us.

Ciao Linda,
this image is really suggestive. Perfect the management of the light and the shades. Unfortunately, a beautiful sunset like this, is not seen often. Compliments.

Hi Linda!
Schön dich auch hier in TE zu finden. Mit diesem tollen zweiten Bild steigst du ja echt gut ein hier! Tolle Farben, guter Kontrast zwischen hell und dunkel, super Tiefe, klasse Schärfe und eine sehr gute Bildaufteilung. Die Perspektive ist auch gut und der Rahmen passt gut zum Bild dazu (ob die Schrift hin muss ist Geschmackssache). War wohl sehr schwierig hier zu belichten, aber das hast du recht gut hingekriegt, höchstens ein kleiner Teil der Sonne ist etwas zu hell. Ich frag mich, warum oben links so ein seltsamer Fleck ist, den hätte man wegschneiden oder vielleicht rausklonen können, aber sonst ist hier komplett nichts auszusetzten!
Eine wirklich schöne Komposition. :-)
Jonas

Hi Linda,
tolles Bild, schöne Bildaufteilung und wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang, traumhaft! Farben und Schärfe sind toll, Kompo einwandfrei!
Wegen dem Fleck hab ich einen workshop gemacht, da hab ich ihn rausgemacht.

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hello Linda,
very nice of meeting you and much appreciated for visiting my gallery!
welcome you to TE for sharing!
This is a very nice sunset captured with a good pov!
good use of the trees as silhouette against the setting sun, just beautiful!
lovely colouration too
well done
from NZ, Tony

Hello Linda,
This is a well balanced sunset composition, where the silhouetted trees in front appear pin sharp and create a fine feeling of depth in the image!
Accurate exposure and the light reflects nicely off the calm waters, delicate veil pattern in the sky...Greetings,

hello Linda

Thank you for visiting my gallery. I hope you enjoy TE community and perhaps still not too late for me to welcome you here.

A great capture of sunset color and glow in this pov. Well composed to show the silhouette with good natural tree framing at the right side. A good post.

Hope to see more posts of South Africa from you soon. TFS

linda

another beautiful sunset. I liked the branches making a natural frame, and the line of clouds, imitating the line of the sea. Once again I think you should to pay attention in the tilted horizon line, this way it isn't so wrong, only a little bit more and it would be perfect.

hugs

Hi linda das Bild gefällt mir fast noch besser als dein letzes super Farben gute komposition
echt schön
der horizont ist ein bisschen schief aber da bin ich auch spezialist drin^^

Hi Linda,
A beautiful African sunset full of peace and lovely warm colours. I like that you included the trees on the side.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Linda,

You have a knack for capturing sunsets! This is another good one. Colours are magical and so well framed by the silhouette of the trees on the side. Well done! Joni

Hi Linda.

A whole family on TrekErath! That's great! This is a very good picture. I like how you have made this picture very interesting with your composition by including the trees on the right. This is a very good scene and you have captured it so well!

Very well done!

Hallo Linda!
Ein sehr schönes Bild hast du da aus Südafrika mitgebracht.....Die Stimmung ist toll, mir gefallen die Farben, die der Sonnenuntergang mit sich bringt, gut und der Bildaufbau ist klasse. Bei so einem Sonnenuntergang kann man ja gar nicht n den nächsten Tag denken, wirklich beeindruckend!
Grüße,
Johannes

Hi Linda!
Thanks for your critiques!
I like the nice sunset-view and the great colors!
I noticed the clouds on top and if you look exactly, you'll see that there is the blue of the sky a bit...
all in all good work!

regards
Phil
