    I always think pink skies are my favorite, then I see a lovely golden sky and change my mind, again! Just wonderful, Carver!

    YOu have combined some wonderful elements to make your stunning image, Carver. I think I like the silhouettes even more than the sun - glorious though it may be.

    Beautiful golden sky you've got here today :)

    p/s: Nope, somehow the building wasn't reflected on those window panels, which was weird.

    Excellent shot! Like the silhouette a lot, though I'd suggest a little tighter of a crop. But either way - a wonderful SWF contribution!

    Thank you so much to everyone for visiting my sky watch photo. I appreciate it. I agree with the comment that I could try a tighter crop. I debated some about how much of the big oak to show as it does sort of over power the sunset. It's always interesting to me to get different view points as I debate a lot. Happy weekend, Carver
