Photographer’s Note
Taken on Norfolk Navy Base here in Virginia. The sun was setting and created such beautiful colors on those whispy clouds. I was driving home after work one day, but had to turn around and capture this wonderful sight before it was gone.
There are only 5 ships in this frame, but Norfolk is the home to about 100 ships, 32 aircraft squadrons and 35 shore based activities. The Base extends over an amazing 3,400 acres.

Hi Stacey:
I like colors of the sky and the stron shadows contrasting them.
Nice shot.

Great shot, Stacey. I've really enjoyed your photos of Navy operations - very interesting. I like the colors in the sky in this one, and how the ships are in almost total silhouette. Following Bogdan's critique, I did a WS on it, widening the image and bringing out the colors a bit more. Hope you don't mind.

Very nicely done Stacey. I really like the colours. It might look even better with some of the parking lot cropped out. Thanks for the note too, I learn something new every time I look at your photos!

Great use of the back-light to create nice silhouettes for these ships. You captured very well the sky with its beautiful colors.
I would have cropped a little bit the bottom of your picture, the black portion is not necessary.

Hi Stacey!
...nature & weapons !
Every sunset is a show 'per se', beautiful colors.
And the shadows are not so 'closed' to see some details in the dark silouettes
Nice job!
ciao, Giorgio
