When I first started on Caedes, the only photos that rivaled shot of flowers, were sunrises or sunsets. All the sunshine has made the flowers grow and they have blocked out the morning and evening sun. Maybe I am Goofy, as opposed to Foofy, but I still enjoy a good sunrise or sunset.

This was taken on a recent trip to St. Louis to watch the grandson play baseball. I particularly like the net in this shot.

Tick - With the sun setting, these fishermen are calling it a day. Terrific silhouettes against the red sky reflections on Creve Coeur Lake. Well done, my friend! Thad

I;m with Thad on this one Tick,and I will add that I like the slight catch of the sun through the trees.

There's something about the silhouetting that really makes this special. A lot of details for a shot like this! Outstanding and gorgeous Tick!!!

I love sunrises / sunsets too ... expecially red ones like you captured here. My grandparents always went fishing at sunrise & this capture reminds me of them. I like the detail you caught on the net as well as the lighting on the lake. Beautifully done, Tick.

The two men silhouetted give this sunset something special... The relaxation of an afternoon or evening spent quietly on the water, and as the sun goes down, the promise of another day 'gone fishin'...

Nice work, Tick. The silhouettes are really sharp, and a 10 pound largemouth in the net would make my day.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I saw this shot earlier and decided to try something new in writing my critiques. I've found that if I'm in a good mood, I sometimes let a minor discrepancy slide. If I'm in a bad mood, I can take out my aggressions on a perfectly good shot. This one looked practically perfect earlier in the day; so I didn't take my medications for starters. Then I purposely stabbed my arm with a grilling fork and rubbed salt into the wound. I let the medications go and waited for my arm to get to the point where my wife wants me to go to the emergency room. After a good deal of both mental and physical suffering, I am now in a really rotten mood and can barely focus on the shot through the rage I feel. I have to conclude that the spot of direct sunlight near the top of the shot is such a distraction that the shot should be pulled. Other than that, you have a wonderful photo here. Now I'm off to the hospital

The net and the other fellow's hat are two top objects here.
No sun though so it is hard to say whether this is sunset or sunrise - they are so much alike ...

This combines two of my favourite genres - sunsets and silhouettes. The colour is so rich and deep and the detail on thr silhouette is amazing. A truly great image.
