Thank-you jose, thank-you Andreu - the sky really does look more like the sea to me here, with a massive purple wave breaking onto an orange beach. Graham

Wonderful sky! Absolutely magnificent! Liviu

Graham Hobbs, on November 26, 2008, said:

Thanks Liviu - sunsets are so tempting photographically that I - like everybody else - have have to be very strictly self-censoring to try to restrict myself to the ones that have some element of unusualness to them, but i love the wave-like effect in this. Graham

Graham Hobbs, on November 26, 2008, said:

thanks tino I think the effect of careful framing with a telephoto lens can produce quite a dramatic effect. Graham

Excellent vivid capture Graham. The trio of crows(?) add a touch of "life" to a surreal sunset. Lovely.

Best regards, Tom

Interesting that you spotted the crows, Tom - I'd taken one just before they flew into the scene, and the difference they make in bringing the scene to life is extraordinary. Graham

Very beautiful colours!

Graham Hobbs, on December 1, 2008, said:

Er - I'll repeat that, this time in English!(rather a lot of typos first time around)Thank-you paul.ion - yes, by using the telephoto lens to zero in on a small patch of sky you can also focus attention on an interesting patch of colour. Graham

I really love this one Graham - seems a bit like a Japanese woodblock of a breaking wave. Too bad about the birds ;) Of course, they really do make the shot.

Graham Hobbs, on December 15, 2008, said:

Thanks again kamaly - dang birds get everywhere eh? - I see what you mean about the Japanese flavour - hadn't though of it, but so often there's something lurking at the back of the mind when you frame a shot and it needs somebody else to point out what it is. Graham
