Hello friends in TL,

Back in 1988, Elton John sang the words, "You can't argue with the image. The camera never lies." The camera still doesn't lie, but you can argue with what it says if the truth hurts. Here is a shot along my driveway with the sunrise hiding behind the tamarind tree. The bricks in the foreground has been piling there for a very long time waiting for the never arrived weekend project. Ouchhhh......

Thanks for viewing!

Dear Jusni,
Great capture.
Wonderful tones.
Thank You my friend
Have a great day
Rosa

Hi Jusni
Intriguing shot, it's all about the sky though I have to say - any details in the foreground are really lost in shadow and not worth struggling to see.
Your choices here I guess were to keep the silhouettes/shadow, or use PP to lighten the foreground.

Jusni Hi:
Good Morning, Neighbor.
Wonderful beautiful sunrise behind the Tamarind Tree from your front yard, marvelous view. Amazing beautiful colors.
Maybe I should come help with the weekend project, someday.
Thanks for the note, as always

Hello Jusni! Good light and shadow. Very good contrast. Original work. Well done!

Well composed here Jusni. Have you tried to shoot it with controlled flash so that we can partly see the foreground? In situation like this I often fire the flash for foreground visibility, but if you intend it this way, your the master of your work :-) As I always say, Photographers are IMAGE MAKERS :-)

wow, love the clouds, love the silhouete effect-tfs jon

i not sure how the tamarind tree look like from here.. the sky really beautiful.. tfs, Jusni

Hello Jusni.

This is very nice photo with very interesting pov and composition. The only thing I would change in this beautiful shot is frame. Somehow it is a little bit "unusual" to have black sides and not all around frame for this photo... but, it is just my opinion. :-)

TFS and I hope to see you soon.
David

Amazing landscape capture Jusni, TFS.
Cheers,

Bayram
