failed sunsets

warm yet eerie light is cast on these barges and pylons at the end of another day...it’s also yet another day when clouds almost totally blocked the setting sun, making me wonder if I should start a gallery of ‘failed sunsets’..

Well, the light is really quite lovely, David. Perhaps Spring
will bring better sunsets. V.

Excellent reflected light David, I am thinking of building an ARK we have so much rain:-)
Marcia Rules13-Mar-2011 21:51
nothing here looks like failure; in fact the muted, spotty light is a gift!!!! BV+
Mairéad13-Mar-2011 21:37
This is a very effective composition and the light on the barges lifts
the scene out of t he ordinary. V

I would find calling this a failure quite impossible...it's delightful!! The colours of the barges is picked up beautifully
Phillip Normanton13-Mar-2011 20:48
Well, I'm not so sure it failed... definitely sunset-ish light on the foreground with a leaden sky behind, I like it! :o)

I think it's wonderful. The light on the barges is great and the composition is spot on. ~V~

Superb image in fact : the beautiful light on the barges and the excellent composition with the coming out of water round pickets in the foreground and the ground lines at the bottom. BV.

It is still a nice light and composition. It looks very peaceful V
John Reynolds LRPS13-Mar-2011 19:48
