Erwin,

Help me here. Why Tobacco city? Help this humble South American man.

The effect in the sky seems a little odd with the rest of the picture.
Cheers,
Wellington

I picked up one of those filters myself last month and it can deliver some great results. I like the simplicity of this shot, although I suspect if you'd aimed your camera lower - and given us less empty space in the fore and a little more tobacco sky - it would be even more powerful.

Hi Erwin,
looks like the Aussie dust storm just hit Auckland. Is this done with a graduated lens filter or is it a PP effect?
Either way, the contrast from top to bottom seems to much for me but I do quite like the effect on the sky
cheers
Jack

Hi Erwin
I certainly know that scene very well. But you show us it in such unusual colour tones.
The tobacco filter gives it a look as if a storm is coming. But I would have expected a tinge of the sky to show up in the water - I feel that is missing in the image.
Still, nice and sharp
