Yep. Cropped version works better. Either way, this is a good shot. You did a great job getting the color just right, and the little bitty plane gives a good sense of scale.
Very pretty colors. I like the way the plants silhouette against it, really brings it all together.
I'd maybe crop a bit of the top off though, seems a bit heavy on the bottom otherwise and there's a little bit of vignetting in the corners.
Took your advice and cropped out a bunch of sky - what do you think (if you happen to see it again)? It's definitely more balanced. Thanks for the input!
Nice shot, great colors, and definitely makes me jealous, too; my sunsets are always broken up by high tension power lines in my southeastern view.
I think I would have cloned out the plane; it's a neat conversation piece, but it doesn't do much for me in the picture itself, which is really nicely composed and shot.
how beautiful the view from your balcony, especially if you get these sort of amazing sunsets EVERY NIGHT !!!!! .......
great shot and excellent colours ..
