Hi!
Very nice shot. I see what you tend to do: red lamps and red sun. You have done it very good. Good detail is traffic.

Hi Bill,
Beautiful shot! You've good eyes and this shot was captured at the right moment. Love the red tones here, your note is well written too. I like your idea of hanging the sun, but then zooming in would have been even better showing just that one post. For a wide angle shot, to me this is perfect.
Well done,
Shaeri

Hello Bill,
The strong point in this image is the afternoon atmosphere, that is very well recorded!
The street lights compete with the setting sun for attention, but the sun is a sure winner...

Hi Bill,
Lovely late evening shot of the magnificent red orb hiding behind the row of street lamps. Very good colors and depth created by the lamp post leading into the beautiful pink sky.

What really stands out here are the nice , soft colors. There is a good balance between the gloominess and brightness here. the sun has been very well placed.
Great shot!!

Hello Bill,
This is a very good perspective with the road taking a turn. The color of the sky is brilliant and what about that sun - Yes Bill. The sun is so well captured taking the round shape and colors that is hard to get in pictures.

Hello Bill,
It is a very beautiful image by night, right before sunset. The image is well composed and framed with the diagonal of the road. You played with the sun in a pleasant way.
Good Evening

Hello Bill,

No, I think it looks good like this, the positioning directly under a lamp to make it look like a light would have been ok also, but this look good. There is a great balmy, tropical feel here, it looks warm and inviting. The trio of motorcycles is very cool. I may have taken one without the truck and with the motorcycles up closest. I must ask, what is that web-like material hanging on the underside of the lamps. At first I thought it was a type of plant, but then it could be a large spider web or even some sort of decoration? It is a pleasant capture with plenty of enjoyable colours and hues. TFS.

Hi Bill
Definitely an eye-catching shot. I note that one of the lamps in the foreground is not functioning – would be superb if the sun could be positioned there (as you had aspired). On another note, wonder what would be the outcome if your camera was positioned on the other side of the road? Possible then that the sun would not be “dissected” by the lamp post.

Hello Bill,
Nice warm glow of the late afternoon sky. You caught the sun at the right moment. Lining up the street lamps & following the curving road makes for a fine composition. The "radioactive" green of the grass & the strong blues of the road make the colors appear somewhat awkward or messy ... IMHO. I don't know what might be causing that effect. Could be the saturation intensity. I'll do a WS to better illustrate what I mean. And please tell me you think of the alternative version. Have a nice weekend.

Regards,
Latiff.

The little bit dark picture but in combination with red sky and the full sun to the sky gives a nice composition.
Nice with the three headlights of the motorbikers in background.
Nice picture and very attractive for look it.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Bill
Strange how three dimensional the sun looks. I like the IDEA of 'hanging' the sun, but in practice it might look too contrived - or even too much like a real lamp to be effective! I think you have managed a good composition with a 'moody' feel.
Best wishes Maggie

Hey Bill,

I like your notes on how you conceptualised this shot. Some may not get your interpretation, what's behind the 'shot' yet makes quite an interesting end result. The colours are amazing, like the way the sky 'glows' as the commuters pass away a beautiful sunset sky behind.

Keep it up, follow what you think it's good, 'keep holding on' on that talent behind those lens!

Cheers!
