Fire in the sky + REPOST

Fire in the sky - Engadin lakes, Switzerland.

The sunset was not very spectacular, so I tried some long exposures.
The picture is quite dark, it was taken long after sunset, so the mountains just silhouettes, not much detail.
(maybe too dark, specially with the white background)

The horizontal format is the result of a mistake, I included too much water, half-half, and I cropped down the bottom.
I took another shot later with more sky, but the colors are totally different. That one I will post next.

Thank you for your comments!

While it is probably a nice representation of what it looked like to the eye, the overall darkness makes it hard to appreciate what seems to be a very nice composition. I'm very curious to see your next post.

I think that the mood of this one is really great!
For me I can see enough details: a brighter representation would later too much the overall mood.

good stuff.

A slightly lighter version, to compensate for the white background.
