Sky on Fire #2

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 30 April 2008 in Transportation.

I tried really hard on this one to remove all the clutter at the base of the shot, but I couldn't find the right place to stand. The sky was too good to pass up though!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

The beautiful pale salmon pink of the sunlight on the clouds is glorious Dave. I do see what you mean about the bridge etc at the bottom, it is a little distracting but You've captured this wonderfully. I think it shows that no matter how spectacular, something that is man made can be, nature will alway's out do it one way or another..

@MaryB: I wanted to keep the bridge in, as I needed something other than just the sky in this shot. It's the little annoyances like the lamp-posts that I wanted to get rid of!

Beautiful color! The title really fits in well.

Marvelous shot, the bridge at the bottom is perfect as is the awesome sky. Great shot.
