Our latest featured image is courtesy of Armands of A.B.C. Photography.  Much like the last featured image, Armands photograph draws me into one of my favourite times of year.

Here’s why I decided to feature this photograph,

Sunset
They are everywhere, and I can guarantee that 100% of you have at least a few Sunset images in your image stores.  What makes this one stand out? It has some visual interest in the foreground (the bale) which stops it from becoming just another sunset shot. I found myself examining the detail in the bale and then thinking, “Wow, is that sky ever nice!” When it comes to sunsets (or sunrises) it’s all about the timing, and Armands was dead-on with this one. Great capture!

Colour Saturation
If you look back over the last few featured images, you can probably guess that I am a colour freak!  Armands image does not disappoint in this category. There’s a nice balance between the foreground and background so that you don’t become overly focused on when area which I find is a difficult thing to do at times.

Exposure
Spot on in this category as well. With a dark foreground and bright horizon this could be one of those shots that you feel some disappoint with once you get it on the big monitor. I am not sure how much post-processing went into this image (does it matter), but the foreground is exposed nicely to show detail, while maintain the highlights in the sky!

I recommend that everyone check out A.B.C. Photography and see what other great photographers Armands has been kind enough to share with us.
