[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,

Well I don't usually upload many sunset shots, but I was rather peased with this one. It's the first time I ever drove anywhere for a photo, and to be honest it felt rather good :) It was fun using a tele lens for sunsets, it's not something I would usually do, but I felt like doing something different. I think I was all the way at 300mm here.

I cropped this to get the more panoramic view. There was some water towards the bottom of the photo, but it just seemed to draw attention away from the sky.

PP- well the cropping like I said. I adjust levels a little bit, just making sure the blacks were clipped, cloned a bird that was cut in half by the edge of the photo, and cloned out a distant telephone line. The colours are original. I also did some USM and the framing.

Hope you like it,
Jako

Thats a lovely sunset sky. I like the panoramic crop and the way the trees and birds are silhouetted. Great job with 300mm lens.
