When I am on a photo shoot, a scene is mostly captured by me from different angles. In order to upload a photo to Caedes, only one of them is selected, the others disappear on two of my external hard drives (the one functions as a storage and the other as a back-up medium), often called by me: 'my shoebox', lol. This method implies, on the one hand, that a depicted scene won't become dull or boring to you, but, on the other hand, that many good shots remain unused.

This post is such a shoebox image. Hope that it may show to you what I've tried to explain. Hope too that you'll like this, almost by me forgotten, shot. Thanks in advance for your comment.

A rich sky and the arrow of birds adds that extra bit of cool and funky.

Mr C, that flock of birds is a great asset to your wonderful sunset. And being in the blue portion instead of in the clouds or sunset make them quite visable.

The colors are exceptional too.

I bet a visit to your "shoebox" would be an enjoyable feat for all of us. There are probably many jewels, such as "Soon It Will Be Dark" in it to warm our souls.

I still have a couple of shoeboxes with old prints from the days of film, Mr. C. I call my extra pictures folder the shoebox, too. I guess brilliant minds think alike, right? LOL. This is gorgeous. The sky is beautiful and I like the V formation of the geese. Excellent work.

Excellent color, Cornelius. How fortuitous that the geese came by at just that moment. Beautiful sunset.

Cornelius - That we could all have a shoebox like yours! The geese, in their 'V' formation, flying across the gorgeous sunset sky makes a beautiful image. The tree branch in the upper corner, with its lines parallel to the 'V', adds much to a fine image. Excellent work, my friend. Thad

I see someone has nominated it for the AC, Sea as well it should have been. I always admired your sunrise/set shots with the silhouetted water fowl flying. This is no exception.
Wonderful colors and I am glad you got out the shoe horn and removed the photo.
Good health to you and yours.

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. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

I love everything in this image except those tree branches because to me they need to be in sharp focus and they are not. The right side of the image is simply gorgeous. KEEP-PAH
