Howdy,

seems I can't get enough of the sunset nowadays...
But then I must say, when she sets at the moment there we get to see this huge orange ball! And usualy some beautifully colored sky...
Just not today. I guess the air was too clear.
The sunset was perfect however, as you can see.

Now.. I placed a "flood-filter" in front of the scenery here, so in fact there was no water, but just some dark piece of meadow with sheep in it.
oh.. and I sharpened the image slightly. That's all.

Hope you like this one!
Cheers,
Anneke

P.S.: Since there have been a few requests on the filter: The filter is a Demo that I got from the FlamingPear website.
You can find it at www.flamingpear.com and it's used by Photoshop as a plugin.
It's a 30 days trial and I realy love it. It's so very realistic!
I hope it won't be deleted for putting up the address.....

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Anneke,

What a beautiful sunset, and you have captured it perfectly. The colors are amazing, TFS. Would like to hear more about the "flood-filter" as well, thanks.

Jeff

Hoi Anneke
Mooi silhouet. Kleuren zijn ook heel mooi.
Mooi de weerschijn in het water.
Knappe foto.

No wonder so many comments. One of the excellent classical shots of the sunset. Perfect compo, colors..everything!

Hallo Anneke.
Geweldig wat een mooie kleur en wat een erg mooie compositie. Ook al zou je geen foto gemaakt hebben je zal er in ieder geval genoten hebben.

Stéphane

Hi Anneke,
This is lovely!! Great composition, the colours are beautiful and I like that the tree and windmill are silhouetted against the sky. The filter sounds intriguing, is it put onto the camera lens?? :-)
Cheers Tina

Hi Anneke,
Golden shot and reward with 'golden points'. At least this picture reward more than two points! So I decare this excellent photo as "Golden TL-image" of the day (and maybe even of the week or month!). Congratulations my dear Anneke!

Hi Anneke,

Well thought out to use the filter. Excellent shot and well done on the composition.

A great shot, a great sunset, with a lot of movement and lot of life. This is simply great...
The reflection adds a lot of beauty to it.
Simply mesmerizing

Hi Anneke,

Superb image. Picture perfect sunset. TFS!

The backlite scene is very nice and well exposed, and I like the colors. Just wondering about the water, is it artificily generated or real ( for my part I don't care, just for personal info). Nice shot !!

Yesterday i see your shot but I haven't smiles to give, and is a very beautiful shot and anythink to crit, beautiful details, wonderful colours, really a sxcellent photo. Congratulations Anneke!

Great shot and super PP work - much better to see such "reflections" than some sheep! Lovely colours and spot on with the sharpness to create really crisp silhouettes. Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Anneke. Lovely PP work. I have seen that flood filter used by one John Tulip. Well composed and lovely softer colours. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ' Free Settlers’

Hello Anneke!

You would not have add your note about the flood filter , we would not have asked you any questions about the reality of this canal in front of the mill, as it is so common in Holland to have them together.

Cool work. Bravo!

Beautiful golden hues and tones Anneke. I'm always drawn to the sunset images and this one is a good one. The wind mill adds a lot of interest to these strong vivid colors.

I also like this one. But I think you can use different kind of flood effect to create a more natural reflection

Yan

Bij het "verlaten" van jouw gallery stonden deze dire windmolens in de intro en kan deze niet onberoerd laten Anneke.

Ze zijn allen supermooi. Mooie kleuren, lekkere mood, goede compo. Geldt voor allemaal. Maar wegens tijdgebrek geef ik de punten en kopieer dit stukje ook bij de andere.

Toppie!

groetjes,

Don

YES !!

Nice PP effort.

Well done and best regards.
