Sunset

Its stillness portrays elegance and beauty,
With its full bareness gliding amongst the clouds,
Orange, yellow and golden light
Shining, glistering with triumphant bright
As it begins to fall and flow
Sailing gently into the buildings below.

Hi Francis,
This is an awesome view. Very dramatic sky with beautiful tones and nice details of the building and water. Really well done. TFS Julie

Hello Francis,

A lovely, long range shot over the town towards the exciting sunset, which resembles a giant, amber cross in the sky.
I like how the houses seem humbled, devoid of colour against the drama of the sky. However, the amber reflection in the water compensates and draws the whole scene together.

Have a good day,
Bev ;-)

Hi Francis,

What a dramatic sunset composition! The high POV over the partially desaturated town accentuates the sky's effect. Really good timing on this, I'm sure it didn't stay that way for long. The reflections in the water are a nice bonus.

Best regards,
Werner

Hi Francis,
This is a rare scene and you are there allowing us to admire this beauty! Excellent bird's-eye view!
The partial desaturationon the city works finely here!
This creates a good symbol, the human must remain humble in the heavens glorious.
Congratulations! Annie

Hello Francis,
