[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I saw these clouds on the way home from a meeting tonight and hoped I might find a place to stop and capture them with the last moments of the setting sun. There's such a poetry in the colors at the close of day.

On the technical side, a slight auto-adjust in HP ImageZone, then USM and framing in The Gimp. I metered the sky on either side of the setting sun before settling on the f/3.5 to capture the moment as accurately as possible.

Hi Jim

This is the magical of nature, they attract us with no warning, they attack us also without warning, but you show how nature always the best subject in our view... Great

The picture is small but is also very nice. The orange clouds give the image the impression of being a painting. Excellent use of light to capture this beautiful natural event. I think the clouds give dynamism to the image and create a nice warm view. The silhouettes at the bottom also give the sky a nice natural frame. Thanks Jim :-)

Hi Jim,

I am a sucker for sunset photos. This one is very unusual with it's whispy, curved clouds. You shot this at the right moment. It has great, strong colors. Nice to see such a great photo from our awesome state of Wisconsin!!!!

Darren

Hi Jim,
Wonderfully textured summer sky with the gold yellow colors blending so well with the blue and contrasting with the darkened trees.
Regards, Tom
