Hello, I'm here to leave you a #FeedbackFrenzy critique! :la:
The colours are just utterly striking in this photo, it definitely stands out from the crowd! The contrast between the blue and gold is incredible, especially with all those pinks and purples merging in between... this is one amazing sky. I imagine you must have waited a while for the perfect moment, and you certainly caught it XD
I love the urban feel and the silhouettes in the front too, they look fantastic against the clouds, but there definitely isn't enough of them. I know all too well that it's sometimes really difficult to get enough land into the lower third of your shot, especially when you're just trying to focus on capturing as much of the gorgeous sky as possible, but it can make the photo feel unbalanced. Tilting your camera down just a little would have evened it out more and given you a more impressive foreground to go with the stunning background :)
Overall though I just adore this photo XD I'm a sucker for sunsets and this one is seriously beautiful, so good job :D

Hi :aww:
I'm doing a critic as part of #FeedbackFrenzy 02 contest and i'm going to share with you my whole thougt.

When i opened this picture page i has amazed!!!!! And i said to myself ' this is really stunnig ' !!! the nature is really amazing i love the colors of the sun set :love: they are so warm and relaxing i wish i could presented that one too!! :la:
What i think that is really curious there is the organization of the clouds because i compare that moviment to a moviment that we use with a paint-brush is like if a person started to paint below with detail and a smooth running up to the top of the sheet and that made me think: if this was the reason for your decision name for the piece 'Painted sky'?

Regarding to the tecnical aspects i have to teel you that you have a good mix of colours there because we can see the orange color trying to merge the blue but unfortunately that can not stay long because the night is coming back with colors like violet. we can observe a color gradient and very clear.
The orzanization of the elements are good too because you choose to capture a big sky so our attention will be first to that. I found something cool there too wth the perspective because we can see a horizontal line in back but the sky in a diagonal way so that create a visual element contrast and to help you understand better think this way: you see the ground that is horizontal and the electricity poles on the vertical stiffness but after that conveys with the flowing lines of the sky could get dynamism and that white points there stands out :star:

well to improve your piece hmmm i just likeed this so much so that is difficult but maybe you could give more ground but just a litle because i think that with the sky taking a principal role is perfect!

aww i hope that could help you :aww: if you want to ask me something ask without ay problem :) because my english is really bad.
:hug:

Good job in capturing this sunset. I love hte way the clouds have been placed within the composition as it all complements each other. The main focus point in this picture is the brightest part of the orange above the powerlines. This is truely a breathtaking and powerful image that shows the beauty within nature and how even with the human structures there, nature has a way of shinging through


Hope this critique helps :)

Hello! I'm criticizing your for for the Feedback Frenzy Contest II: I actually really liked it, the sky looks amazing. You did a very good job on that. There's no doubt on that but, the thing is I'd like this photo even more if it was horizontal not vertical. Because these kind of beautiful skyscapes are the kind of photos I'd like to have as a wallpaper on my laptop or hang it on my wall but when it's vertical it looses attractiveness for me. Over all this is a great photograph! Good job! :clap:

Thanks! I never really thought too much on making skyscapes horizontal just because my personal preference is vertical. But you present a really interesting point so i will defiantly keep that in mind next time :D

This is a great picture, but it isn't interesting. For example, take the game kingdom heart 358/2 days and in twilight town their is a great sunset and amazing background. So perhaps you don't need to make it like that, but it would be nice to have the sunset more spice up in a way that the background make the sunset better tan what it is. For instance, the mountain is great, but their a problem it not original, unless you own it and make it original using the mountain and the sunset in as way that has never been seen before. In all this is a really great photo it just need to be spice up.
