[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was home for Thanksgiving and my brother and my two nieces were able to come visit. It was MAD cold that day, but I noticed there was a great sunset happening. My niece loves taking photos so I asked her if she'd like to try some shots with my camera. She was thrilled. There's a second story porch on the building so we went out and took turns taking shots. (This IS mine by the way) I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I did some work on the flag to bring out the stripes, but the rest is about what we saw. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Shelly,
This is really a great capture. Awesome warm colors in the sky nice cloud formations. I really like how you included the flag in this shot. Very nice work.
Regards,
Kevin

Beautiful light and stiking colours in the background. Strong composition.
My biggest issue here is with the flag - the pole touching the top of the frame, and the slightly-messy PP lines around its edge. Although you have certainly brought out the stripes clearly enough for me to tell which country it belongs to.

Hey Shelly!
I think, having focused on the sky and the horizon, instead of the houses; perhaps, and obviously you can take this with a grain of salt since the focus was put on the sky, having enhanced the contrast and even post-processed the houses and the bottom out, what I mean is through ridding of it by merging the colour all together or just somehow darkening the bottom part in order to take away the unnecessary distraction.

Alas, I do love the crop, and the capture of the vibrancy of colours!
Cheers

Hi Shelly
Une prise simple,mais de toute beauté grace aux couleurs et sa composition.
Ciao Yvon
