Lykos, intuitive "base" conclusions are often quite reliable. That said, our comments are almost identical in detail and conclusion, so I'm not sure why you tossed that schoolhouse art appreciation lecture my way. I just left out my droning thoughts on those clouds as I think they speak for themselves. P.S. I added a little contrast and shadow boost to the B/W version of this one. I still prefer it this way. Who wants to stare at burning yellows in the height of summer? Seattle hit 103F the other day. :-)

I agree with negative criticism , but only to a certain degree. Someone here feeds off a comment such as mine and others. Babies Should Not Be Over Fed !

The details on the clouds and control over it flaring out from the light is really neat. You can't get a shot at the sky like this with just your eyes. However, it's a little bleak for my liking. I know there's only so much you can do to a photo and I'm not judging your efforts on preventing me from seeing bleak. You did good. I just can't attach to it. brizkit, I tried as you suggested and made it black and white. I think I'll hold on to it now as it's easier to look like. As one said earlier. Some works just hit some people better than others. One thing to learn from art appreciation is how to rate a picture without jumping to base I like it or not like it conclusions. Identify certain things like detail or balance or how well colors combine together.

BabyBurned - Find another place to dump your trash. Good pic! I LOVE taking shots of the sky.

looks well enough, the quality isn't all that bad, but the sun is just too bright for me.

In this instance I think Burn is correct

While the darkness surrounded the sun tricks my eyes into thinking this is too bright - and therefore I'm not going to use it as a wallpaper - this is still quite nice. An excellent amount of detail has been captured, despite your looking directly into the sun. Nicely done.

very nice!

Capturing the sun is always difficult.. You seem to have done it quite well.. :)

Excellent, but, if you would have taken the same picture but with the sun out of it it would have been grandiose. Thanks for a refreshing wallpaper.

Nice shot ;)

I have to agree with BurnBaby.. Although a great shot, it's just not up to par like this site was when I first started lurking around here. It's not much to the likes of Chris Gin and Macindows. Great shot though.. let's see another.

I like the content and composition, but I guess I'm not big on these harsh yellows. That said, I'm not sure I've seen many similar shots much better than this. This is actually pretty cool in black & white. Reminds of a creepy Hubble shot and takes away the natural unease of looking at an image of the sun. On my desktop now.

The photo itself is by no means complex. But the color choosing and composition works and looks fantastic on a desktop. So excellent job with that! And yes, people, stop feeding the trolls, it's a no brainer there.

Another great shot. PS- if you ignore a punk, it will go away from lack of attention. I won't mention any names, that gives them what they want. Not from me. Nuff said.

Love it. @ Burnbaby Trolls: I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful. For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response. Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).
