Not a fire as such but just the colours of a sunset.

I was out walking near my home one evening last week when the sky changed from quite an over cast night to these dramatic colours.

Only had my 70 - 300 lens with me so I was not able to capture more of this amazing sky.

Very little PP work.
Cropped a bit from the bottom.
Increased colour saturation slightly.
Added a border and frame.

My mine... this look like the tree is on fire!!! Great sharpness and details, I love the sharp silhouette, great colours and composition too, but just a bit small...:P, well captured,


Have a great day,
Cheers,
Sweety

ciao Marco

Hi Derek,

Nice fiery backlight! A pity that you did not point the camera a bit higher, so that the top would not have been cut off in the composition. But it is a pleasant background light you have captured here!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Derek
Nice shot and colours of sky. At first I thought that a fire was overshadowed.

It does look like it has caught fire! And it also looks like a painting, with that kind of frame. Nice work!
Best regards,

Hi Derek
Wonderful shot, great colors, very well composed, shortly sayed a great capture.
Greetings
Jens.

Hi Derek,
Look really like burning. Beautiful colors of a sunset. This tight crop from a tele-lens look fine to me. While a wide lens that you wished you have bring would make a nice shot, this composition also has its own beauty. Interesting contribution for the theme.
Regards,
Ramdan.
