Thanks for the compliments, I really feel fortunate to have made this capture.
Sebastiaan, I feel the extra space at the top helps to establish the scale of the photograph, which I think is essential for the enjoyment of this image.
Hi, Joffre. I agree with Sebastiaan to a point that you *could* probably get away with a little top cropping if, say, you needed to fit it into a specific "slot", but not nearly to the extent that Sebastiaan shows. I really rather like it the way you have it right now. Obviously, that last dying ray of light over the horizon caught on the billowing cumulous cloud in the midst of velvety encroaching darkness. It would be a shame to lose that regal purple/black, a rare sight to see, much less capture on film. Fantastic job.
nice photo,the colours are great! only one suggestion, you can crop the top of the photo till just above the cloud and a bit from the left too. find my crop attached. I hope you like it this way
