I came home after jogging and I saw this tremendous sky, all painted in red, I kept on running to my camera :-), then I took number of picture of these lovely sky and this is one of them.
In this picture the old and broken street light is standing like that for real, and I used its silhouette to create something interesting in this frame.

I used NeatImage to clean a little disturbing noise, and do some levels work in PS, hope you will like it.

The red in the sky is very impressive. I think including the silhoutee of the lamp post was a good idea. Well done Elroyie.

I like the composition of yopur picture...the crimson red color is unbelievable for a sky....did U change it too ? if U haven't & it's for real, it's amazing Elroyie, well capture !

I am missing something at this composition. I don`t know sure what it could be, but I need something more David. Maybe is it light on of the lantern, or maybe you have some more just with a frame. I don`t really know. Maybe is this only my opinion, but for me is here not enough just two colours; red (in tones) and black. I hope you`ll found my meaning not too strongly.
Regards, Don.

nice picture of the redness here, very deep colours and the broken street lamp is very clear, well done

You have incredible sky and it is nice to put that strange silouhette in foreground. Very nice composition! Well seen, Elroyie!

... I came home after jogging and saw your photo, Elroyie ;-) The composition is as simple as it gets and may not be to everybody's taste, but again I appreciate how you are creative and try different things. The color setting in the sky is priceless, and the streetlight does create an interest, and is well placed in the frame.

Amazing light Elroyie
This street lamp in this picture helps this composition
The colors are superb
You could add this to the hunt: Something Orange
Well seen

Hola Elroyie: It is a spectacular image the mixture in the way of the clouds with the sky it is beautiful. I adore the tonalities of red projecting light and shade in this composition, magically captured. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania *

Very good Elroyie!!! nice contrast and intense colors! Very unusual composition! I like it!

DoF and PP are very good, Elroyie, and the result is very impressive. Maybe a tighter crop might work better. Anyway well done.

A sky of fire for me which likes the clouds and the weather I ask has to see other pictures in broader plan if c'est possible, with the electric post I think the composition is very good and original. well done.

Beautiful colours, really nice. :o) But I think Don's right, I'm missing something... But I don't know what. :o) For the rest, the picture is great. Well done, Elroyie. :o)

Very very pretty picture, I think it's one of the better sunsets I saw in TE.
