Just before the sun set and some time afterwards.

[George McGovern]

[George McGovern]

6. These are absolutely stunning, dear George! The clouds in photo #1 look like watercolors.

They have the texture I associate with painting. And it's just gorgeous!

The second photo looks even better, if that's possible. I love the blended streaks of light and the way the colors seem to move in and out...

Wow. Thank you!

[George McGovern]

9. You are welcome Peggy! Thank You!

[sprinkleeninow]

7. Each and every one of your photos posted are a delight and offer me serenity or joy.

[George McGovern]

11. You've defined my motivation for taking pictures. I am very grateful that my art makes days better.

I am humbled sprinkleeninow. Thank You.
P..S. Please feel to download any of my photos. They are not copy-writed.

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Oh my goodness, thanks for the gift to download and reproduce!

That one of the sun I'll surely do.

One will be for me and thinking one for a 'certain someone'. And I'll definitely attribute it to you, my brother, as the photographer.

This exchange we had I feel was divinely orchestrated.

I love DU!

Peace, health and safety be unto you. 💛

[George McGovern]

14. I love DU too! All the same and all the best be unto you too.

We need these reminders of the greater beauty in life.

[George McGovern]

18. Thank You brer cat, we surely do.

17. Beauty!! the second one looks like a South Florida sunset after a storm. We called it...

Sky blue pink. Nature is a master of color. This one has more red tones and a beauty..tnx

19. You're welcome mitch96! Sky blue pink's a great descriptive. I like your Orwell quote. Chilling.

20. "I like your Orwell quote. Chilling." Between Orwell and Geo Carlin they keep me

pointing in the right direction.

21. Beautiful!

[George McGovern]

23. Thank You Much Ross!

[Pobeka]

22. George. That top photo is darn near perfect

If you don't mind a little constructive criticism -- the sharpening has created a noticeable halo along the horizon. If you could filter that out or back off on the sharpening intensity that's worthy of framing!

What a shot!

[George McGovern]

24. Just saw your response Pobeka. Constructive criticism is good!

I was too lazy to deal with the halo effect; however, yours is an excellent suggestion. I think I know a way to fix it. Not tonight, but soon. And thanks for your comments!
