I am very interested in critiques on this image, so hack away. I travel to San Diego from Colorado a few times a year, this time was during the fires. Maybe all the sunsets look like this but I thought it was different.

I also had a pretty dirty sensor, so I had to clone out alot of dirt specs. Should have brought some cleaning fluid.

Canon 1D, 300 F4 @5.6, ISO 400, 1/500 sec, manual focus.

I like the mood of this one. You are a little crazy to be out breathing this stuff. Hope you had a mask on or something, the air is still very unhealthy here. Hope you make it back in January for some more La Jolla Pelican images. By then we should be able to breathe. :)

The smoky clouds tell a grim story. There is definitely a mood set by this. The colors in the sun are awesome!!

FWIW I really like it a great deal.. It is very simple but has a strong message. Straight down the middle really works here.. Excellent in my book!

Fantastic sunset. The smoke creates a surreal quality to the image.

I really like this one. An unusual situation has created an unusual image....and a very good one.

Very nice. I wonder how it wil look when you wait few seconds and let pelican fly little more on right. Now the verical line of objects is too obvious for me. regards

Love the colors of the sun. I don't like how it got that way. Keep safe. :)
