Calm - III

[Kaye Leggett]

Continuing my calm theme, some shots from Signal Hill in Cape Town at sunset. C&C welcome, particularly as to whether B&W works at sunset

We arrived before anyone else



But we weren't alone for long



As well as going up the hill for sunset, I'd worked out that this was also the best place to picture the 12 Apostles of Table Mountain - a couple of slightly different compositions

Nice set, Kaye. I think the B/W does work for the sunset. Particularly if there weren't dramatic colors at the time I think you did well with the scene. I really like the third image. Well done.

[Rebel]

These are nice shots Kaye.

I could easily conceive that the first 2 shots were taken in the night and that is the moon rather than the sun at a push.

The last two are great, especially #3... beautiful light and nicely processed.

[Shadowman]

Nice series, I really like the second capture.

For me, Kaye, you have too much dark foreground in the first image. I suspect it won't brighten successfully so I would crop the bottom to something like the second scene.

All the others work fine.

Nice set Kaye, I like them all but #1 and #3 best.

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks for all your comments. Geoff, I have re-edited the first to lighten the shadows and cropped a little - I found it made the 'fynbos' under the tree too prominent, so have cloned some of this out too.

Kaye...I like #1 and #3 of course but this last edit is the best. GEoff was right about the darkness of the first.

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks Izzie

[Dave A]

I really like that second image.

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks Dave.

I see in true CiC style we have complete split opinion !!

[Geoff F]

Agree, that edit looks a lot better to me.

[Dave Humphries]

#2 (not alone) is the standout winner for me Kaye, love the shadows.

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks all for looking and commenting

[bnnrcn]

#2 and #3 for me Kaye

[Kaye Leggett]
