Sky Fire
No digital manipulation here. The sky was red from forest fires in the area and I managed to get a shot,without flare, using a zoom lens.

  Thanks, Cyn. It was your image "Eclipse", I think was the name, that got me to thinking...."Wait a minute, I've got some images like that.".... I was going to delete them, then gave them a second look after seeing yours.

  WOW. So glad you did not delete. This reminds me of a Japanese print but more intense. You have a haiku to go with it?

Great work with this one. The comp is spot on, and the backlight effect works so well here. Just beautiful!

  Thanks, everyone. Believe it or not, despite using a zoom, there was no lens flare. In fact I only had flare in a couple of the 20 or so images I shot that evening.

  Sun is blown out (I know this is a tough spot). Minor jpeg artifacts evident. Not really a wow shot, but nice.

  I love the color in the sky, Kai, and the crispness of the sun against the sharp plants. I tried a similar sunset-behind-corn-plants shot, but it doesn't have the airiness of this, being that the corn is packed closed together in the field; I like this much better!

  How long ago did I tell you this was a winner, Kai? Feels like years but maybe it was only one. Can't tell you how glad I am that you decided to resubmit. Congratulations on your finalist and good luck in the next round.

  Thanks, everyone!
It was a double winner day for me...
my first grandchild, a boy named Aaron Michael, was born this afternoon.
He weighed a whopping 11 pounds eight ounces!

  I should add a special thanks to Cyn, it was one of her photos that kept me from deleting this image and entering it instead.
If you haven't seen her work, take a look at her gallery, she is one of BP's outstanding shooters!
