I took this at the same location as the "Sunset Thistle". In hindsight I wish I had taken the pic with the sun further to the left. Always something to learn from life's many adventures.

These pics owe me big time, well a pair of jeans. Getting into the paddock was no problem. Getting out left me with a large hole in my jeans.

I played around with the curves a bit with this edit.

Nice composition Shadow - just the sun'squite irritating (my personal mission at the moment - trying towork aroundsun burn out).

Wonder what this would have been like with the sun a bit lower?

I think I was trying to work the scene a bit too much. Too much high cloud cover was not working in my favour. I just really wanted to get out with my new CF to handle a bunch of RAW pics.

I have some others but there is still some burn out. After I lost the detail in the upper limbs of the tree I moved on. I took some straight out sunset pics but there was just not enough color in the sky to keep me interested for long.

Can't get any exif off your image - what camera are you using Shadow?

shadowlies · Jan 3, 2006, 9:13 AM

Dare I say it?

I have a S9500.

Shadows, if you don't mind, I did some edit, sharpened, saturated colour, played around with tone, some cloning and cropping. Hope it is an improvement otherwise apologies.

Kind regards.

Jaki.
