Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken on a highway, I saw those colours and searched for a place to stop my car and catch this beautiful sight, I almost missed it, at last there was a reasonable spot for picture this sunset.
The horizon is straight and you can see this on the road on the right, I included the trees on the left to balance the composition, this is a full frame.
By the way, this is road no. 6, the first toll road in Israel, it crosses Israel from north to south.

Great sunset capture Elroyie!
Point of view not too bad for such an opportunistic on a toll highway!
The clouds and the colours make this photo. Great composition with the clouds and their differing contrasts against the sunset sky.
Thanks for stopping to get this! Worth it!

Amazing sky painting you made with the 20D, Elroyie. Glad you pulled over and stopped - the light effect the setting sun gives on the clouds is splendid, the colors around the fireball are great, and the low horizon is well used. The tail lights of the car at the left are a good detail. Beautiful shot.

The clarity, the transparency and the sharpness of the sky are particularly impressive here.
And the choice of the composition is well seen with the road and the car giving life to the scene.
Really excellent, Elroyie !

Very nice colors and dynamic sky with an interesting diagonal.
