5.00p.m. - This is another shot taken just 2 minutes after the one that I had last posted. Here you can see a window showing the blue sky beyond.
I missed one very spectacular sunset scene above the clouds when we just about to land at KLIA in Kuala Lumpur last September, as I was given the isle seat. I regretted for not being able to capture this once in a lifetime moment. So this time I make sure that I was sitting by the window and was lucky enough to be able to record this scene though not as spectacular as the one I missed. I hope you will enjoy as much as I do.

PP- very slight cropping along the margin, adjusted level and run through Neat Image.

Hi Aloysius
Personally, I prefered this compared to the earlier post.
This image created have a elements that mother nature provided. And the "window" perking through those gloomy clouds are very nicely captured.
This is like a water color painting where you needed to spread some water onto the paper before applying the color.
Cool image, Aloysius.
Cheers and Happy New Year.

Hi Aloysius,
good serie, unusual view. I like the light through the clouds. Good colours. Well done.
Rgs, Aleksander

Hi Aloysius

A superb pov & excellent tonal range in these impressive clouds at sunset. Slightly oversharpened imho, but that's just my personal taste. I'd also remove the blue & red dots, bottom right & desaturate the grey areas. Good work overall. tfs.

Hi Aloysius,

very nice post, with the colours and cloud forms simply amazing.
Very well taken.

Regards, Aleks

Hi Aloysius,
I like the wonderful colored sky, this is indeed exactly a water color painting, you did good with PP and Neat Image.
Lovely frame too!
Best regards,
John

Hi Aloysius,
Here the nature has created an awesome abstract composition, and you do your part as you capture the scenery very well! Very good depth thanks the lighting of the different layers, simply great!

Hi Aloysius, Beautiful scenery with layers of clouds and different colors in the sky. I agree with Chris regarding the sharpening. On the other hand, the sharpening provides some nice painting alike effects.

Hi Aloysius,
A different from your and a splendid one that you present us. As JOHN says this is like a "water color painting" of a beautiful and impressive sky. The blue sky window contrasting so well with clouds and the other reflecting light.

Very nice work so well seen and composed. Congratulations and my Best Regards.
Fernando

Hi Aloysius,
A stunning shot of this magnificent sky. What makes this and your previous post so dramatic and unique are the incredible textures you have obtained for the clouds close up. Although one can discern a little noise as a result of your shooting through thick glass, this is still a great shot. Well captured.

Hola Aloysius.
Beautiful view from your window seat, maybe a little bit stormy for me if I'm sitting in your place but the colours of the sky an clouds are great. very well captured.
Very well done.

Hi Aloysius, nice capture of the moment and the view is breathtaking. I was viewing this from my notebook LCD screen and saw some pixilated screen near the lighted areas.
