Artist's Comments

This photo was taken at Kloofzicht Lodge, South Africa.
The air was still and carried slight chill, just enough to make me wish I brought a jersey.

I used a rear flash to highlight the tree and a long exposure to capture the glow from the city on the other side of the hill, which looks deceptively like a sunset.
You can even see the brightness of the city lights reflected in the water and on the hill at the other side of the valley.

I'm particularly proud of this shot, but constructive critique and comments are equally welcome, thanks.

:: Is speechless ::

This is simply beautiful. I thought it was a digital painting at first, I am amazed!

Gorgeous colours, and angle, and I did think it was a sunset. :D Wow!

Very clever.. it does look like a sunset. Do think i'd have moved the tree slightly off centre though.. so as to not block the view completely & carry the eye... that's just me though :D

Super shot. Way to set it up. That took a lot of forsight.

Thanks, I wish I could have take your advice on that, as I agree it would have made a better picture, unfortunately there was other, less attractive trees / bushes adjacent to this tree that would have emerged in a landscape orientated shot...
