Dirty Sunsets Photo

Photographer’s Note

June 21 - summer solstice - longest day of the year

Discovered yesterday at sunset time on a dirty surface.

Not properly cleaned actually, judging by those lines.

As the surface itself is dirty, there is no point in "cleaning" it using Neat Image or similar tools.

Anyone can explain these multiple sunsets?

Hello Daniel,
More interesting than beautiful, but a well needed reminder that a pair of good eyes can find an opportunity for experimentation anywhere.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Daniel!

Dirty sunset? Are you kidding?! That's beautiful! I love the red spots reflected, like undisciplined fireflies and the shapes of the roof against backlighting, like a wave. The only thing that I would like to change is the format, to avoid the too prominent shadow in the foreground and the part on the left. Have a look on my WS .
Best Regards
Marine

Shalom, Daniel -

Really good spotting here! My feeling is that the multiple sunsets are the result of some faceted surface behind this glass; they do not look like reflections off the immediate surface.

Happy solstice!

Best,
Dan

Hi Daniel
I find this pic original, clever. Your POV was great and you turned the dirty glass into something useful for taking a good pic. I have no explainations for these 1000 suns, in Italy someone would say it's a miracle...ehe...
have a nice day!
