¤ Cloudspattern ¤ Photo

Photographer’s Note

[Photo Scene info]
Another impression of the sunset I saw on the first of february, where I've allready posted photo's from yesterday and two days ago.
It was a marvellous sunset, one like I haven't seen for quite a while. In january there we're many sad days with pale white sky, this time it was very nice. I've been tracking the sky for an hour or more, since the sky was ever changing.
For this photo I walked around my house, and here I've placed the sun in between the pinetrees..
I like the cloudspattern, hence the name of the photo.
Later on the sky turned red, it seemed as if everything was on fire. I've posted how that looks yesterday (same location..)

In the post processing I went for a tight crop, there was nothing much on the left side and I found this quite nice. I hope you can agree.

Hi Emiel,
An unusual cloud formation well presented with well chosen POV to have the sun setting right in the middle of the trees... nice colors and framing

Dear Emiel,
A bold and experimental crop. The frame is appealing.
What is a tight crop? If you please.
Best wishes.

Hello Emiel,
I think the elementsz here work well together!
Beautiful sunset colours, nothing dramatic just lovely...
Silhouettes fits well in, adding contrast and punch!
Greetings,

Hi Emiel,

I love the way this vertical frame almost seems to stretch up the framing trees and funnel down those wonderful clouds .. great sunset.

take care,

John

Hoi Emiel,

Dat is zeker een mooi wolkenpatroon, het heeft bijna iets surrealistisch, ik vind het erg mooi.
Goeie compositie ook met de zon precies tussen de bomen in, mooie kleuren en vanuit een heel goed standpunt genomen.
Prachtfoto!

Groetjes, Nel

Hallo Emiel,
Prachtig deze windveren in de lucht boven de prachtige zonsopgang. Tijdens mijn treinreizen naar Leiden zag ik deze week ookeen paar van deze prachtige zonopgangen. De ramen van de treinen zijn echter te vies om door te kunnen fotograferen.

Hi Emiel

Very nice vertical shot. Great angle, excellent colors, superb sky. Well done.

Hi Emiel!
Your clouds are very beautiful, indeed. I think the scientific name of such formations is Cumulus Undulatus (wave clouds). Sharp and no halo around the branches - good work!

Hi Emiel,

Very beautiful image. I like the way you cropped the photo and also how you used the two trees to frame the sunset.

this is a better composition than sunset in my street (1)... but to long vertically :)... still good with the trees and the strage clouds...

take care...

Hi Emiel,
A beautiful sunset and that cloud pattern is great.The use of the vertical format has really added to the image making the sky seem to go on forever.Lovely colours and the sharp silhoettes of the trees are excellent.Nice to see at the end of a hard days work....TFS.

Hi Emiel,
Excellent sunset composition with fantastic colours and lighting. The figures of the clouds on the sky are really wonderful. I also like very much the narrow vertical format. Splendid work!

Great idea to crop the picture this way, great dynamics in the sky with the clouds seeming to come out between the two trees. Well done Emiel!
