A beautiful image…wonderful light.
Wonderful colours
Very nice compo
Looks like the horizon has been set ablaze.
Wonderful backlight shot. The silhouettes are magnificent!
Nice picture, nice compo, but… I am almost frightened !
I like the nice warm tones.
Stunning. Simply one amazing photo after another. Who would think to shoot a sunset this way? Most would walk until there was an unobstructed view.
