An evening silhouette Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this shot when I was home in April. It's been processed and setting in a folder. I was standing on my mama's porch and it was a glorious sunset. Just as the sun was about to sink below the horizon I caught the tree in silhouette. I loved the way the sky was all orange behind it. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice one shelly, which is rich and dark and carefully nuanced. I love the mood and the interplay of the silhouettes

Hello Shelly,

The lacework of bare branches creates a compelling shot. But instead of the sun, if it were the moon, with the background blue, the atmosphere would be entirely different, a bit haunting even. I like the image very much.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Shelly:

A genius which borders on the artistic. I think it is a work of abstract art, what you have achieved with this composition.

The frame is displayed with the proper definition of the silhouettes.

I hope in heart, that the procedures associated with taking your medicines, promote your health and your spirit for good.

Special greeting from Colombia, John

Stunning, Shelly! Sharp without being oversharp. Just gorgeous colour. I love the mug on the windowsill catching the light, and the balance between the tree trunk and the house. Perfect frame.
Warm wishes,
Winifred

Hi Shelly

It really looks lovely the minute before it sets and that orange color is certainly very poetic. I like the shape of the branches and twigs in that very nice bg.

Have a good day and TFS

Hi Shelly,
Lovely combo of golden tones and the black of the night.
The old oak tree really makes for some compelling patterns and textures to the end of day silhouette.
