Sunday Sunsets over Westchase

[SorsSalutis]

Took these tonight and since I haven't posted any photos lately, I thought I post these. Taken with a Nikon D80 and either the Sigma 28mm f1.8d or the Nikkor AF-S 18-135mm f3.5 DX. Let me know what you think.

I like #2 and #4 the most. #4 looks like it might have some subject matter behind it :)

Would look good on my wall. Nice job man :thumbup:

Very sharp and vibrant.

I like 5. From the soft peaches to the threatening blues. I enjoy the contrast in it.

I'm hoping to come across jelly fish in the sky. Never seen them, but probably one of my most favorite formations. If they had the same lighting in 5 I would hate myself for not having a camera.

4 looks like the saturation is almost getting blown out from the peach to grey. It has a sharp transition to orange in between. It doesn't seem to fit. Almost like it's beginning to pixelate. But I wasn't there to see the sunset.

The subtle prism ray with the hexagon glare is pretty cool in 3. Looks like its from a cloud that's in 1. If so, that's pretty awesome that you were able to catch something like that. I like the sharpness on the ray in 3 over 1.

For 2, to me it feels like the framing should be more towards the sunny corner. I don't know if you cropped it or that's what the whole photo looks like, but I think a little more of the sunny side would have added to the shot. But again, I don't know what the clouds were giving you for shots.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you all have the same appreciation for the clouds as I do. As for the framing I was limited due to the house roofs directly below each frame. 4 is a bit over saturated as I was trying to bring out the goldish/red color in the sunset.

The last one (5) is my absolute favorite. The cloud formations were incredible.

I'm glad someone noticed the small things like the rays splitting between the clouds.

Now can anyone find the 2 Gators in number 5?
