Continuing my Maui/Hawaii album
A shot of the sunset from the top of the Haleakala volcano. The view was so amazing surrounded by clouds, seeing at parts the city below or the crater in the opposite site.
I just resized the image in PS, this were the original colours.
I hope you enjoy

Hello Christian

In my opinion, sunsets and sunrises are the best times to get photos no matter where you are, and with this photo I think you confirm that opinion.
The scene simply looks magical.
It almost looks like it is taken out of a dream, a fluffy pleasant dream and the sun would be representing the end of the dream or the start of a new day.

Overall I think the result looks good, I would maybe have included a little more of the ground in the foreground just to add some more siluette. But who am I to tell you. In the end the photographer has the final word and the overall result here looks just smashing.
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful nature and image of it at the sunset, splendid colors and sea of clouds, I much like the fact that the sun is hidden from them , well done Christian, compliments.
Ciao

Hello Christian,

Claro, bonitos colores y muy buen punto de vista, arriva de las nuves. Parece que este volcan es muy alto y con vistas muy impresionantes. Me gusta la saturacion de colores y ademas la foto esta nitida. Gracias y te veo luego.

Hi Chris,
A really fantastic view! Gorgeous shot. I love the gradient of orange in this shot..
Well done,
Shaeri

Hi Christian
Wow, somewhere in the sky the Sun is hiding behind the clouds. Lovely capture, colours.
Regards

Christian,
an image that certainly evokes some of the feeling that you experienced up there on the top of the volcano. I like very much that silhoutte of the volcano to the left and I think that it would have been interesting to include more of it.

Hi Christian,

An excellent shot with very nice colours. A bit of the same feeling as when you look out of the window in an late evening flight. I really like your composition with the rocks in silhouette in the foreground. TFS and have a nice week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Christian

TFS
regards lukasz

A really evocative sunset Christian, fine work my friend, compliments!!

have a nice day,
Fabio.

Hey Christian, most people get the sunset, under the clouds. This is a new perspective, I like the sun setting into the clouds like this, it's something normally reserved for a look out a plane window. The colour is good, and I like how it is reflected off the cloud tops. Nicely done.

Thanks, John

Hi Christian. Wonderful photo. Impressive colours and nice atmosphere. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hey Christian,
Wow, that is quite an amazing view you had there. The soft warm colors of the sky create a very calming atmosphere. Watching a sunset from above the clouds is definitely a wonderful thing that most people don't get to witness that often. Congratulations!!!
Greetings,
Natasha

Bonjour Christian,
je me laisse séduire sans résister par ce ciel et ses couleurs fantastiques, on voit rarement un coucher de soleil sous cet angle.
L'avant plan nous done une idée de l'endroit d'ou tu as pris cette photo.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Hello Christian, attractive sunset photo with perfect composition,POV and colors.
