Mississippi River Sunset with Elgin Landry in silhouette.

Montz, Louisiana

It was very cold on the River this evening. We missed a beautiful ship going upriver by about one minute but were fortunate to catch "The Istanbul" coming downriver.

This was shot about 50 seconds earlier of the same ship and has totally different colors.

other sizes: small medium original auto

Extremely fine compositional work here. Your husban in the FG sells this one. Voted.

I like how you positioned the horizon relative to his shoulders. This is really expertly composed. All the lines lead to a point off to the left, right where he's looking. Very nice.

I add my voice to the chorus... Great sunset and the sillhouette is superb.

I like the hat. Amazing sky and sunset.

Oh my goodness, Coleen, this one is just beautiful. Elgin's silhouette adds so much, and the sunset just goes on forever. Voted.

Great shot !

so atmospheric.. the man in the hat makes the image more powerful emotionally

Excellent shot, and a great composition. The Marlboro man makes the shot.

The man in the hat looking at the riverboat adds a new dimension to this pretty sunset. And it's almost mysterious in a way.

totally beautiful composition

The human figure adds so much to this picture. It makes you wonder what he's thinking, what he sees. Lovely shot!

Gorgeous shot, wonderful sky and the sillhouette of the man watching the ship adds that special touch.

A wonderful shot. I like the color and composition.

The first image is outstanding and stunning.........very well done.

Karen Leaf		10-Dec-2005 05:06
Love it--both in fact. But your PAD choice is really outstanding.

Dennis Hoyne		10-Dec-2005 04:33
Beautiful photo the silhouette really adds depth and a sense of scale, nice one.

Guest		10-Dec-2005 04:02
Sunset comes quickly on the Mississippi. Great contrasting views. These pictures prove that a good scene doesn't necessarily guarantee a great shot. These are both excellent but different to the extent that a lesser angle could miss a great shot. Very well done.

Love the clouds that seem to be moving in sync with the river.

Gayle Jenkins		10-Dec-2005 03:37
Afraid that I have to disagree, Coleen, I love your sunset tonight, I think you won :)

Gayle P. Clement		10-Dec-2005 03:05
Beautiful silhouette.

Monte Stevens		10-Dec-2005 02:55
This is a really nice image, Coleen. I like the way the clouds are ridged along the horizon. Well done!

Guest		10-Dec-2005 02:37
I love this! I was stuck in traffic while looking at this gorgeous sky! The silhouette really adds to the shot.

Bill Ewart Jr		10-Dec-2005 02:19
