My guess is that you all have seen enough sunset photo's through time.
I just wanted to share this picture I took a few days ago.

Might be a good picture for my photography forums debut.

Picture as shot on Canon 30D with super-multi-coated Takumar 50/1.4.
No edits, because i only have access to my laptop, which has a bad screen for editing.

It's beautiful. Try googling landscape composition tips to find why this is compositionally ineffective. You exposed this shot perfectly, imo.

thank you for the replies.

I actually took like 80 shots and picked this one out when i got home.
Next time i have to try getting it in a few imo.

Perhaps the bottom half would be good enough, yes. It might be a bit split up now between sun and horizon and the cloudscape on top.

The sky is pretty but everything else is a black blob

Shoot 45-180 degrees left or right from the sun. It looks like you were 20-30 minutes late too
