The 2012 landscape calendar is now available! Go check it out :D

My second "square", since the first one worked out pretty well :) I love how this grass looks, but I've become terribly allergic to it this year. I've never been allergic to anything, but after coming near this stuff I sneeze 10 times within a few minutes.

Location: North arm of the Fraser River, Beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Equipment: Nikon D90 + Tokina 11-16mm.
Technique: Photomatix Pro 4.0 and Photoshop CS5 from 3 RAW exposures.

I think the picture was shot at a good angle but i think the grass took almost most of the room in the picture, and to me that ruins the beauty of the sunset. Of course there are some good things about the grass like the representation of nature itself, it is also the last thing that the sunlight has reached in this photo and to me that could represent something.

I also love how the sunset is fading at the top left corner representing the end of the day. whilst the top right corner represents the upcoming darkness that falls at night.

Overall i think the piece was photographed really well.

Contrary to DragonDriver5's critique, I don't think that just because a sunset/sunrise is in a photograph that it should be the focal point by default although I can see how he and others would think that way as suns are symbols of glory.


But one of the main things I love about nature photography is the alternative perspective's it offers and the challenges one has to go through to achieve such such a perspective. So, in my opinion, it is only apparent that good nature photography gives off an obvious sense of perseverance and ruggedness that has some irregularity in it.

With that in mind, I see that the texture of the grass and rocks below is the focal point of this piece with the sun and the soft heavy clouds being complimentary to the more detail below... how many times does one come across grass with red kernels; much less glowing in the sunset/sunrise?!

If this photograph could speak it would say, "Yes, I made it up that cold dank coastline to see this gorgeous sunset and lay in the warm grass before I nod off to sleep.

One simple yet effective aspect I'd like to point out is how the sunrays reflect off the clouds.

One thing that could maximize this perspective is a wide shot or panorama that would show more of how this luminescent/optimistic time-of-day transition contrasts from the dark cloudy scenery that is more towards the right.

Beautifully done .........I think that this needs no critique! You captured natures majesty.........! Perfectly I might add. The colors from the lower part of photo illuminating from the sun add to the beauty,an contrast of textures. Thank you for capturing this moment so well.

Thank you, you are not only a great photographer, but you don't mind laying all your techniques on the table. It's so frustrating when artists think they must be secretive. Thank you.
