Abstract Sunset, Moonrise

Sunset, Moonrise · **5 Likes**

This is a somewhat confusing shot. It was actually the reflection of the setting sun on a Caution sign and the headlight of an approaching car. The weed ended up being the savior. Without it, it's just some odd blobs of color. It was like Bob Ross and his paintings.... this was just a "happy accident."

What an amazing image. So simple in content, but a work of art in result!!

Thanks for all the kind comments. This was one of those very pleasant surprises that comes about every once in a while during editing.

A fine wall hanger image and the sort of thing poster companies look for... bit of a clue for you, I’ll only look for a small commission from you.

Thanks. The "softness" was due, I think, to the fact that it was cold and windy that evening and I had just tried to blow a small piece of debris from the lens and it was just slightly fogged up. Go figure.
