A Tranquil Evening

The world seemed to almost totally stop when I took this, it was a hot evening, I was sweating just about to die, but for a moment, life seemed suspended, all the hustle and bustle disappeared, and the sky went fantastic, as if the Lord above painted something which had never been seen before. For an instant, tranquility, for an instant, serenity, for an instant, the light was to die for.

Look closely, take it all in, and you may notice the distant red traffic lights. The building on the left is the old boat house at Washington Park where this was shot at, built around the turn on the century 1900. These days it serves as a place for concerts for classical music, Scottish Bagpipes, and similar sorts of sounds. Examine it close and just take a deep breath.

Thoughts welcomed, print to come

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! But for some weird reason, I can't add this to my favorites. I know it's not the limit because it keeps saying that it's been added. But when I check my favorites collection, it isn't there...

did you also get your tripod from ebay like i did? :)

anyway, since you want critique, the only thing i can think of is that the sky looks kind of boring in the top right corner. maybe dodging midtones/highlights on the sides of clouds facing the sunset would liven it up a little bit, i have no idea. or maybe it would kill the mood. :shrug: just a suggestion!
