Fire Through the Grass
Posted under Color, Critiqued, Landscape
When shooting sunsets the photographer often needs more than just a nice colored sky to hold the viewers attention. The foreground adds depth and interest to the image. As much attention should be given to the quality of the foreground as is given to the primary subject for one often cannot stand without the other.
This photographer has selected the interesting silhouette of beach grasses to frame the setting sun. The graduation of color from pink to blue sky gives a pleasant sensation.
I would like to suggest that the sand in the foreground is a little distracting and could be removed. This may work very well as a narrow horizontal image.

Jim thanks again for your advise, I’m finding it very helpful. I thought the full shot gave the photo alittle more depth, however, I like your cropped vesion as well.
