Artist's Comments

A little bench i've always wanted to get a picture of durring a sunset since it's facing west almost perfectly. It's on the way to the beach, next to a really old bridge that people are always fishing off of. I waited until i got a tripod first so i could do a long exposure on it. I set my shutter speed to almost 30 seconds to smooth the water as much as possible. I'd like to return here to get this show again with another, not so generic sunset but for now i'm satisfied with how this turned out.

i know. it's what drives me nuts about this picture. the bench is a bit uneven in general. I tried to even it up a bit, without tilting the horizon too much but i couldn't do too much.

thanks a lot for the comment.

But it's still a great job..

Keep it up..

I'm astounded by the colour gradient. It's superbly captured. I love it.
Excellent choice with a longer exposure to smooth the water's surface. It worked so well (though I can image it was pretty peaceful when you took this). It makes me want to take a seat on the bench and just reflect (no pun intended) on life.
Also, in reply to ~skk, I think the bench being slightly askew gives the entire piece character. It's little things like that that breathe life into certain shots and make them real. In my eyes anyway.
Keep up the awesome work Ryan. :)
