Description

Taken just after a torrential downpour. Probably one of the best skies I've seen in NJ. We don't get too many, probably due to the amount of pollution we have :p I envy all you people who live in perpetually beautiful locations.

If you don't like the posts, well, tough cookies for you...

Very impressive!!!
In the composition you have managed to include a great sky, sunset and those beautiful wooden poles (the later making a wonderful natural framing), congratulations!

Only minor distraction is that green pole but what can one do... :p
Healing it off or doing selective desaturation on it might not be 100% kosher but might be worth a try...

Wow! The colours are just amazing...I guess the grainy part can't be helped as well...
But great shot!

I'm sorry Brandon. I didn't know you lived in NJ. Again, I'm sorry for you. I hope that one day you're able to get out. ;)

Now on to your photo, it's cool. The sky in the top left is dark and your border gets lost. Maybe a 1px white outline would help, or I could be off my rocker. The posts, I hate em'! :) j/k

Keep it up man! Nice work! Was this an HDR image?

@ Tom: Are you looking at it on your monitor at work? Cause I know the colors on there are fluky :p There's definitely a difference of color between even the darkest part of the sky and border.

@ moser: Yeah, the green pole was a bit of a disappointment, but I'd rather leave it in than heal it out. Believe it or not the sun was actually behind me, hence the shadows and "orange" light...so I guess it's not technically a sunset :p

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Yes, I am looking at it from my work monitor. :p I just read the NJ part and had to add my two cents.

Hah hah, yeah I agree that NJ definitely isn't for the faint of heart.

When you're born and raised here though and then move somewhere else the pace of life just seems way too slow. Lived in South Carolina for a year a couple years go and was ready to put a bullet in my head :p

A good image, with good colors and beautiful sky. That tiny green pole is distracting. Why not just desaturate it?

Now that is a gorgeous image; I love the complementary colors involved here, from the blues of those omnipotent clouds to the stretch of bright orange back to blue with the water. Excellent work. :)

The two posts make the photo look very central and I'm missing the nice contrasts of "Three Lines" That said, this is still an incredibly moody shot.

Some awsome colors you've got here. I've stared at it for 10 minutes to find something to crit :p couldn't find anything except maybe that the image is too squarish. would have liked either a vertical or a panormaic composition. But seriously, great image!

Great image. Love the sky, the two wooden posts are the first thing I would avoid, but thats the thing that makes it your type of image and I must say they work here !
Well done..

Excellent photo, Brandon! My only crit is that I'd remove the hydropole cables on the right. Other than that, I really like this photo!

The lightings is great. The dark of the sky and the lake frame the land perfectly! Like a nature sandwich. Poles rock by the way!

Absolutely stunning. I actually don't mind the posts at all. They kind of accentuate the sense of me being there myself, walking out into the open area and enjoying the scenery. (thumbup)

Very good shot, the colours are wonderful! I would have cropped it from the bottom to remove the "horizontal" piece of wood though.
Wonderful lighting!

nice shot brandon. I'm noticing lots of sky pictures from you lately hehe... after you've said to many on here how pretty sky pictures are rather cliche... haha,

nice shot though, glad you included the posts. it definately adds your own look to the normal pretty sky photo.

Fact: a polluted skies contain more warmer colors at sunset.

Is that really Canon PowerShot A95?:) Very cool, because I think this camera is pretty bad for landscapes. Or that's just lame me ;)
