Backyard sunset, a photo from Fyn, East

Photographer's Note

Ever since I joined TE, have I got an eye for sunset and rises – Whenever the colours at the sky look interesting and I got my camera near its shooting time. My photos also made me realise, how “fast” the sun actually moves in horizontal directions from day to day – specially in April and September.

This one taken in April and its only a few days (if any), each year its possible to get that tree with a red sky as background. Now why did I post this shot a half year after its taken?? – Well I spotted the tree (taken from the other side) at my former workshop photo – and remembered the photo.

A feast of colours and patterns of the trees.
The light is wonderful in April, beautiful photography, Jep !

avigur_11 (22535) 2004-11-11 15:35

Wow, amazing colors of fire and flames, this tree is burning in the sunset lights. I like the square format and the silhoutted bare trees. Wonderful shot, Jeppe.

RGatward (20086) 2004-11-11 15:36

I really don't why you waited so long to post this. It looks great. A good sunset/rise mkaes so much better a compo with a feature like this in fornt of it.

ishai (4097) 2004-11-11 15:36

Unbelievable capture of a beautiful sunset Jeppe,
This is a very good.
The colors all in layers
The Silhouettes of the trees
I like the crop and the composition
Well seen and capture

premels (2400) 2004-11-11 15:39

Wonderful tree silhouettes and what background colors, it's a dream.
Trees silhouettes are finely chiseled with very fine details.
It looks like a vegetal Golgota.

grzegorz (955) 2004-11-11 15:48

I have to visit Denmark- sunsets there are stunning. It’s a perfect photo. Respect :] gr

oochappan (4880) 2004-11-11 15:49

The silhouettes of the trees you spotted very well in your formal WS and the coloring of the sunset sky is extraordinary. Well done Jeppe.

yanar (295) 2004-11-11 16:20

Great shot. Beautiful colors and composition. I like how the trees in the background complement the main tree.

ChristianS (2997) 2004-11-11 16:21

Wow, amazing colours, very beautiful! The silhouettes of the trees are depicted very nice against the ardent sky. Well captured!

Pompey (1117) 2004-11-11 16:32

Fantastic colours Jeppe, great silhouette, just can't help imagining it without the smaller trees though.
That isn't a critisism just a thought.

michel_r (1118) 2004-11-11 16:35

Amazing picture. these tones of red and yellow together with the silhouettes of the trees make a great picture. Nothing to enhance here. Bravo.

Hughes (84) 2004-11-11 16:45

Great composition Jeppe. The colours are startling and allow the branches of the trees to really show up. There is a good symmetry to the image and the main tree's shape is near perfect for a typical tree. Well found and caught.

borax (1732) 2004-11-11 17:06

beautiful colors

jurgen (2074) 2004-11-11 17:06

Now that I'm in Germany, I may visit Denmark to try to get some images as beautiful as this one. It seems post-processed, but if it is or not, looks very nice. And perhaps we may meet --a TE international day! Is the winter to cold up there?

hojper (2832) 2004-11-11 17:16

Wow, you forget that you have taken this kind of photo? I would run all the way home to the computer if I had one like this in the camera. These are some of the best silhouettes I have seen in a long time, and the colours behind them are just - well I long for winter now, which is the time we see this kind of scenery here.

Steft (6109) 2004-11-11 17:56

Nice colors and nice romantic/quiet composition.

glitch (763) 2004-11-11 19:27

Brilliant photo Jeppe!
Such good contrast, colours and feeling. All the warm colours, but no leaves on the trees.
Very well done!

Another masterpiece Jeppe! I guess you've mastered taking pics of landscapes, sunsets and sunrises! The trees without leaves are perfect silhouettes for the colorful background. Very sharp! Very good work!

maphoto (8082) 2004-11-12 0:12

Very colorful Jeppe and very special light through the branches, excellent cropping and beautiful nature, it is never too late, well done.

paco (264) 2004-11-12 1:11

Very good composition here. The colours are beautiful, i like a lot the differents one, pink, yellow, orange. Trees silhouettes are very sharp and allow the branches to show up on this marvellous background. Well seen and captured!

Dinyar (704) 2004-11-12 3:36

1 word comes to mind.
Gorgeous.

Beautiful picture. Easily one of the best sunsets I've seen on here. Great framing. Love the focus on the 1 tree.

PixelTerror (0) 2004-11-12 4:36

HI Jeppe, well I'm breathless, such a festival of colors, what do you want to say except "Wooowwwwwww" !
It's a fantastic one and the tree shades add a lot to its attractivity.

pasco (259) 2004-11-12 5:59

the subject loses his link with the reality and becomes a graphic object. I like this shot.
ciao jep

sandpiper (6788) 2004-11-12 7:13

Superb, the colours are fantastic and the compposition is breathtaking. An excellent shot.

Bernard (226) 2004-11-12 8:20

Splendid colours and good composition. Sunset & sunrise sure do give great clours. Nice, thanks for sharing

cool_s15 (4050) 2004-11-12 8:27

wow such a wonderful sky and great silhouette.
Nice composition and framing with amazing color. nice shot

ChrisJ (155981) 2004-11-12 8:53

Great work Jeppe! AI like the richlt saturated warm colors of red & gold & the superb silhouettes.

joseelias (0) 2004-11-12 9:01

Stunning colors and silhouettes! About the composition I think that placing the main tree more to the left would produce a stronger image.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-11-12 9:08

Tremendous play on colours, very well taken and good subject too, really good work

jmdaoudal (82) 2004-11-12 9:09

Grandiose athmosphere, this colors are very exceptionnal and the silhouette of the tree is helping in a kind of graduation of the back ground.
This progression is very nice to the eyes.
Compliments
Jean Michel

rage_tm (623) 2004-11-12 9:10

Wow, wonderful colors. Excellent composition which includes big tree as center. Good framing too..Just Gorgeous!

dkeus31 (27739) 2004-11-12 11:17

Superb colors and nice silhouette.
Well framed and good exposure.

nwoehnl (122) 2004-11-12 12:57

Really stunning color setting in the back, Jeppe, glad you pulled this one out of your archives. The tree silhouettes make a nice graphical foreground, and this is also a good example in which a "centered" compo doesn't do any harm, rather the opposite is true. Well done.

elihesamian (26149) 2004-11-12 15:38

It's a great painting shot,a dreamy work,very strong natural graphism which you creat,with amazing colors in BG which has golden tones to magenta/orange/red tones,wonderful,..also the form of tree has an intresting semi symmetrical in top,nicely done,and in a perfect way you captured & composed it,...and nice for a poem,too.

Thanks Jeppe

Yours,Mohammad

Zanni (6108) 2004-11-12 16:20

Dear Jeppe, it is not rigth that you keep only for you this splendid pictures for a long time before posting. Too bad. The trees and branches seem veins of our circulatory system. The splendid hot colors of this sunset are the signal that senses can wake up with the spring and veins can start again to throb. Definitively: this is a sensual picture.

jhm (196463) 2004-11-13 4:22

Hi Jeppe, the different colours tints an the lovely sky its fantastic, it silhouette of the trees gives a very beautiful image, your WS is likewise great. Maybe also as title sky fire!
Excellent composition Jeppe, and thaks for sharing.

sn00zie (2384) 2004-11-13 9:21

An incredible shot, Jeppe. Stunning colours and the detail in the tree silhouettes is excellent. Perfectly framed. Well done.

kent_s (1911) 2004-11-18 16:20

If that's your backyard I'm gonna apply for a danish citisenship. I live only about 2.5-3 hours drive away where it's taken, but never seen these great colors. thanks for sharing Jeppe.

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-11-18 17:24

This view is wonderful, Jeppe... and indeed, it's not often that we have such skies. Very nice silouhette too! Bravo!

dsidwell (9783) 2004-11-19 0:15

Well I can't add much to what has already been written here. The sillhouette is so nice against that amazing sky. The genius of this image is the bold composition choice of putting that tree right in the middle. Super, super work, Jeppe!

Didi (61587) 2004-11-20 6:57

Les arbres dénudés permettent d'apprécier le ciel rougeoyant avant le réveil de Dracula:)
Très bonne composition.

The stripped trees make it possible to appreciate the red sky before Dracula's wake:)
Very good composition.

The central subject amkes this a very balanced composition. The gradation of the colours is good.

Catli (550) 2005-01-20 11:18

I can't believe I missed this one! This makes me regret my recent period of inactivity on TE due to lack of time. Well, everything has been said already, I just had to express my admiration of this stunning colourful tableau. You really know how to capture the beauty surrounding us. Thank you for sharing.

kikitoshi (18) 2005-02-05 12:06

weswang (18223) 2005-08-04 10:36

Hi Jeppe, The colors are incredibly beautiful. The silhouette view of the bare trees make a very nice foreground to enhance the color changes of the background. The picture is well taken with sharpness and clarity. An excellent shot.

jafadabret (56501) 2005-09-21 3:08

C'est flamboyant ça fait penser à du Lurçat. L'arbre en contre-jour est très graphique. Une photo qui plaît beaucoup.
