[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Was driving the Pirita drive in Tallinn and saw the big sun in a mirror and just couldn't resist to stop to take a few photos of this beautiful sunset.
Actually, I took about 10 photos trying to get only city and sunset in the photo and this one was the only pic with some other elements, including laterns and snow, but it turned out that this one with that blue (rather than white as it was originally) snow contrasting to sunset colours was the best one of all shots.

Probably a horizon is not perfectly straight but I still like it. :)
The only PP work: changed image size and applied auto contrast. That's it.

PS Have a look how that beautiful sunset is framed in my friends sun-glasses!

You're right there's a slight tilt in the horizon, but the photo has such good colors and is composed so well that the tilt becomes irrelevant :-)

I like the composition and the colours. Sunsets are so much hit or miss. This one is a hit!

You have realy excelled your self here Laine. I love it. I realy enjoy the look and way of the sun here. And your composition adds to it enormously.

Excellence. Already this is a triple favourite...

A picture that instills a great desire to travel! Magnificent composition, and perfect timing!

That's a great view at the sun set.
The sun looks like star, which looks even more cool.

A bit of snow adds some nice touch.
Congrats.

very lovely composition. The sun & the reflection is reall awesome. TFS

Great shot! The sunset colours are strong, and I like the repetition of the lamp posts. Well done.

Hi Laine.
Very nice shooting. I like clouds and sunset and snow photos. Perfect photo. Good job . :)

Very beautiful picture!
Really makes me want to visit Tallinn...
Lights and colours are beautiful and mellow without being Kitsh. Very good!

Hi Laine,
Beautiful shot although the horizon is not horizontal.
You should make a rotation, the next time.
Regards.
Fred

Hi there! What a masterpiece you have created! The composition is spot-on, the colours are warm and inviting, despite the snow(!), the DOF is good and I dont mind the "off" horizon one little bit! Great shot!

Laine,
this is very beautiful !
Brilliant sense of depth, perspevtive ... etc.
Nice effort :)
Best regards, Daniel
