Sunset in Bisti Badland is a magical moment. I waited for the cloud to be at the right position before pressing down the shutter release.

That cloud really takes the focal point silhouette to a new level. The intense colors work very nicely here.

What a beautiful and creative use of light and composition here. One of the most original images I have seen from Bisti in a long time.

Talk about having it all come together! I think the heavy gradient in the sky works well, but I'm not sold on the level of saturation in the lower right.

Great timing on getting this to line up. You came away with a wonderful and unique image. I find the upper right is a bit heavy for my tastes.

I like very much. I might consider tightening up the comp by cropping just a bit off the top and left side. I like the intense colors.
