Sunset at Pointe Michel Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken on my trip to Dominica last year, Standing on the hill just in front of St Luke's church in Pointe Michel. I was hoping to capture the 'green flash' which is the last in the spectrum of light given off by the sun as it dips below the horizon. As you might be able to see, the sun is about to go behind low cloud on the horizon rather than the horizon itself so there was no green flash to be seen at this sunset.

I have seen the green flash with the naked eye and it's quite something and I did capture the flash while I was there. It's not as good a shot as I would have liked as it was shot at 200mm handheld but I may post it at some point.

Thanks

How tiny sun yet how effective it still is...
Lace like silhouettes of the branches are what i like the most here and how the clouds look marching to the sun and its orange heaven looks very nice and interesting. Technically perfectly managed. Congrats,
Deniz

I've never heard of the 'green flash' before, but I'll be looking for it now. Good timing in this shot, catching the sun just as it starts to disappear. The clouds and the tree branches really enhance the photo by adding some natural framing. Well done!
