I like the desert sunsets that one gets here in Qatar but most days I am still at work by sunset. Even if I get out in time, it's too late to drive out of the city. Being bound to having urban elements in the picture, the diplomatic club is more pleasant than others. Thanks for watching.

I like the vertical framing and architecture of Qatar, but know little to nothing about it or its origin.
Simple and effective comp, it's a unique sunset image from this part of the world :toast:

That gorgeous sun is amazing, Esme'. I love the contrasting juxtaposition of the sun against such a blank sky... and the beautiful architecture below. The image seems to lack tonal contrast, and the colors seem pretty flat. I'd like to see some true black in the shadows - and some midtone contrast to bring out the details in the building. Also - that band of light in the foreground is a bit distracting. Perhaps a slight crop to remove it? I love the vertical composition. Well seen!
