Simply beautiful.
If you don't mind me asking, did you use an ND?

 

[keenan]

Goodness! That sky is beautiful! Amazing shot Harry!

 

[suggs]

Thanks both of you

Norfolk's known for its big skys and i live in a farming village so have the pleasure of miles of open land around us to see these sunsets..

Bicko i didn't use a ND filter, i shot in Raw and recovered the highlights in the foreground with lightroom using the adjustment brush..

 

[Bicko]

Ah, I see. Impressive result!

An amazing sky with a deep red sunset, whats not to like.

i also did a mono conversion of another shot taken at the same place, edited in Nik Silver Effects

On the original, think I would crop off half the sky, putting the horizon on the lower third. This would put more emphasis on the sky around the sun. Would also crop some off the left hand side to move the sun away from the middle. Sometimes the rule of thirds does work.

Not sure about the b&w conversion - you have captured some lovely colours in the sky and the rapeseed doesnt work as well in b&w.

This crop works well. I assume this is a different shot from the original as you have lost the subtle rays from the sun - would like to see that one with this crop

I love the B&W rendition.

Makes the sky more dramatic for me.

Both are great anyway.

Love the colour, BW and pano-style versions - great capture

I think I definitely prefer the crop version, Looks epic. I do love norfolk, the family holiday used to be great yarmouth...stunning.
