fire in the sky Photo

Photographer’s Note

On the road back to Phnom penh, I get caught by night on my motorbike.
The bad thing about it is that there are so many insects flying at dusk that you first think it is raining on your helmet. And they are really hungry of fresh blood...
The good thing is that I witness this cool sunset.

You have got what I planned to take but failed.
This is the real image of Cambodie.
And this is your success with a camera.
Thanks & Congratulations!

Beautiful capture. I love those dramatic clouds and and this amazing twilight. The pic itself somehow reminds me of those American Vienam war movies...
Well done!

Linas

Hi Olivier- fantastic colours, and the sugar palms give it a very distinct cambodian print.

Superbe ciel avec ses beaux nuages et ses couleurs extras... Bien vu

Sinon quelques infos en + concernant la prise de vue serait le bienvenu :)

Hola Olivier, un atardecer muy bonito y con el encanto de las palmeras a contraluz, el color esta muy conseguido y también tiene muy buena definición.

Felicidades y un saludo ............. Paco

This amazing scene was worth it for sure!
Great colours!

bonjour Olivier
Nous avons droit à de superbes couchers de soleil dans les Alpes mais la grosse difference, c'est ce premier plan avec ces superbes formes si caracteristiques des lieux.
belles image qui offre l'avantage du coup d'oeil sans la morsure de l'insecte !!!

Hello Olivier, this is a fine sunset. I like the trees because I can see the individuality of each one. The sky has both good colour and texture.

nice image.. maybe try enhancing the sharpness a bit? the trees like a bit fuzzy?

Hello Olivier! Wonderful colors here, it really caught my eye. The density and shapes of the palms are well seen. I might consider cropping a little of the bottom but that is very minor and it's really perfect as is. The texture in those heavy clouds is also very beautful!

Very well done!
