[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have been quite irregular here since last few weeks and might have missed a lot of work posted here. I hope to catch up soon.

Recently i got chance to shoot some landscapes / Skyscapes while travelling by road. I really enjoyed this sunset while passing through country roads.

I am very new to this genre of photography and have just started learning about landscapes. Your critiques and comments will be of great help.

This shot has been taken with nikon 18-135 mm lens handheld. Editing , framing and resizing done for the final presentation.

Hi Pankaj,
it's nice to hear you have been trying something new. I hope you enjoy indulging in Landscapes as much as i do. Time to invest in a whole new set of filters!
A very nice classic sunset here with the sillouetted trees framing the dying sun perfectly. I might have been tempted to clone out the electricity pylon in the bottom right corner but that's no criticism, just personal taste. Look forward to some more from you!

Hi neighbor! Well two landscapes in a row in Gallery. How much fun is that? Very beautiful...but considering the expert behind the camera and the good quality Nikon gear. You certainly know or have learned how to frame you landscapes well and doing it in vertical gets you extra credit. Vertical is hard to do yet you seem to have it down very well..I am glad your back!

Hi Pankaj,
You played very good with the tree's silhouettes here to achieve this excellent composition.
I like the color's gradients and the evocative mood of the picture.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Pankaj
Another interesting subject in your galler. I hope that we will see more great landscapes from you. Very nice compo beautiful sillouettes of trees and good exposure. You are a macro specialist but also very universal photographer - great macros, great landscapes ;-)

Hello Pankaj,
Lovely sunset picture. Very nice composition. On the ground level it is already dark but it is well lit high up in the sky. TFS this fine image.

Hello Pankaj,

Superb landscape. Very nice composition with this tree on the left. Beautiful colours of the sky. I would have tried to crop the picture to remove the pylon too.
Very well done,
Cheers,
Mariki

for someone who is new at landscapes this is danged good, love this shot, nice clouds and I like how you got the tree in silhouette and on the side, I would clone out the electric tower though, those things are soooo ugly

Hi Pankaj,

You are a fast learner - this is a beautiful sunset. I love all of it - the large tree framing the picture, the silhouettes of the trees, the beautiful orange colored sky with the marvelous clouds and above them the still blue sky. Wonderful colors and a superb composition.

Jane

Hello Pankaj,
Many thanks for sharing your beautiful sunset well captured and composed!
great use of the tree as silhouette against the beautiful sunset, and you had handled the exposure and focus real well here in achieving good sharpness, vivid colour and details in the shot
my compliment for a fine landscape image
well done

Hola Pankaj. You are right, ever day is a "New Chapter" in Our lives. We should write only good things, we have to give the best of ourself and take it to the limit.
Excellent image My friend.

Hi Pankaj,
This is a very pleasing sunset image. The lit clouds are very pretty and the composition with the silhoetted trees and off center sun works very well. Tfs Richard

Hi Pankaj

Congratulations for trying something new. I think it's important for our motivation. And a sunset is always a welcome subject! We probably all have made some.

Yours is quite classic, yet very pleasant. As a crtique I would mention the pylon as a disturbing element and from the point of view of the composition I personally would not chose such a high and imposing tree on the left. I believe it attracts the eye a bit too much. You could "cheat" a bit and flip the picture horizontally...

These critiques to not diminish the value of the very pleasant and peaceful picture.

Kind regards

Markus

Hi dear Pankaj ,
Very nice scenery with great composition.
Colours are excellent too.
well done

Saeed

Sunsets and sunrises are themes dear to those with a streak of poet in them, Pankaj.
Your landscape image is really well captured. The one-third bottom portion in silhouette is the perfect example of ideal matrix for such photography. The remaining view of the sky with a range of beautiful cloud shapes and colours is immensely charming.
Well done and TFS.

Hello Pankaj,
A beautiful image to mark your venture into landscapes.
I like th composition of the silhouted tree and skyline in this sunset and the colours of the sky and clouds make this very attactive.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan

Hello Pankaj,
Seems like whichever genre you choose you try to deliver the best.:)
It's a lovely landscape shot of the setting sun. I liked the way you have framed it with the tall silhouetted tree on the side and bottom. Lovely colourful sky.Looking forward to more landscape shots from you,
Regards,
Smitha.

Hello Pankaj,
This is an excellent start on your new venture! Lovely sunset in beautiful colours. I like the silhouette of the tall tree and the colours, light effect and cloud formations are beautiful. I too would have removed the pylon but it's often hard to avoid signs of human activities! Well done!
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Pankaj !
I love this kind of pictures with sundown, the colors are gorgeous, so many different shades of red and yellow. The black silhouette of the tree against the sky looks great, too. Spendid composition and POV. Very well done !
Valerie.
