Im sure you already know this BUT THIS IS AMAZING!!! I wish I could shoot like you!!!

This is stunning! Thank you for your detailed account of how it was shot. It is definitely the photographer! Something I heard recently which has helped me is that there is never a “fluke” shot – the photographer was always in charge.
I would love to see the original image at some time to see the differences with the colours! Cheers, M.

My god, this is almost spiritual. That light green fading into orange is truely uplifting

BIG WOW. 9000% wow

Fantastic!!

It’s like the fence between heaven and earth.

Good eye and capture of a wonderful shot…........

Amazing capture! Looks beautiful!

Truly an outstanding photograph. Creating a midnight sunset is no easy thing to do, as your notes describe. I must try your method here in Blackpool. Very inspiring picture.

Agreed with all of the above. Instant Favorite! I’ve shown this picture to many people and everyone just loves it.
