Rewarded and Robbed

"The clouds billowed blue and gray
hiding snippets of light held back from the day,
blanketed shining sheets of gold glow -
molten and strewn across the sky
as the shadows of night
stole the day from my sight"

These is a fantastic picture, with all those layers of colours. A real show! And nice poetic comment! FAV

[GaryW]

@caterina Thank you. It was very special - I have not seen anything quite like it before. Am still tinkering with the attempt at poetry

[GaryW]

@positive_energy - thank you -:)

[Caterina]

I'm surprised that you could use a time of 1/40 and ISO 50 with all that shining light. F14 was enough to compensate then

[GaryW]

@caterina I started the other way. I had the dial set to P. Then I set F14 and the camera did the rest.

You have a terrific bar of gold on the right. Good contrast range and plenty of detail in the clouds.

[GaryW]

@alex_g Thank you Alex. Those comments are reassuring and appreciated. Cheers for the fav
