Good morning Peeps

I am trying a little experiment over the next three days.

While out with the rebel at the country park on Sunday I was lucky enough to capture the most beautiful sunset. I loved the colours here as the sky was grey and orange due to the storm clouds brewing up. I decided to take three consecutive shots with varying Depths of field to pick out different aspects of the view.

Todays image has a shallow DOF leaving the sunset view blurred. What I loved abut this shot was the lighting. The cow parsely is lit just enough to show a small amount of colour rather than a complete silhouette. And yes once again I was laying on the floor to get the shot but no Goose Do dos this time ;-)

Image 2 of this small series tomorrow

Resized and framed in photofiltre.

Have a great day and thank you for taking the time to stop by and view my image.

TTFN love Smurfie

This is a very pleasant shot Helen! Love the silouettes focused instead of the sky! A really nice way to show a sunset AND something else! Love the warm color!

Hi Helen

Wonderful, warm orange sunset colours, with fantastic graphism, and silhouettes. Good sharpness & compo. Tfs!

Hello Helen,

This is not like most sunsets.
To me, it gives the impression of an abstract painting! Or maybe, one of those Japanese shadow theatres.
I like it very much.
It is new, almost inventive.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Greetings, Helen -
I like them both, but this one has a slight edge for me. I think the details of the vegetation in the foreground are interesting, so I prefer your focus on that; the beautiful warm colors of the sky still come through even though it is blurred. Very nice image.
