[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On our way from Djerba to Tunis (by car), you can feel a particular heat and strength of the sun that I had not encountered before. The sun is hot, suffocating, burning, and everywhere. All buildings around (the few of them) can never hide it, and after some time, the sun really feels like a ball of fire that it is. I took this shot from the car, while the sun in front, as it felt that we were heading right to it.

PP work: Increased contrast and saturation, adjusted RGB levels, added a sharpen filter, added a frame, cropped a bit on the right and bottom parts, and finally sharpened again.

Une toute petite rotation vers la gauche, et l'image sera parfaite.

Hello Hager, A very nice sunset and you did a good job on the pp. But you forgot to level the horizon :)

It must have been very hot indeed.

Well done! Take care, Yan :)

ps: Many thx for your crit on "Games People Play (2)". Your visits in my gallery are always a pleasure.

hi! hager great shot... nice composition and presentation.. good work... thanks for sharing (",)

Salut Jojo,
belle photo, j'aime les couleurs et la composition, la route qui est un peu off centered, cepandant ton horizon est un peu tilted.
Excellant travail

hello Hager,
this is a very good use of lead-in and POV for effective placement of the setting sun. I think the horizon is a little tilted but that can be easily corrected. There is also a slightly grainy texture - but it looks deliberate - and it works.

best regards, Daniel

From Djerba to Tunis? Than this is a sunset!
I know Tunesia a little .. was in Sousse .. Beautiful capture and well done on the composition, nice catch of the sun. TFS
