Nikon N70, Nikkon 35-80@70mm, fuji sensia. I had to edit out some dust from the photo-cd scan (eckerd drugs)Would a graduating filter help in these situations, or are the deep shadows effective? A few more@ my site

Overall, I like it. I take a lot of sunset pictures, and have recently decided to try a graduated filter for my telephoto shots. I'm not sure if it would contribute anything to this shot though. Maybe a little. Some may complain about the horizon being almost in the middle of the frame, but I find the bottom half interesting enough to justify it. Having about 1 more stop of exposure may have made it more interesting, but maybe not. Did it look better in the viewfinder than on film? If not, don't worry about it.

I hadn't seen this after I posted it. I swear it looks darker on this site than from the disc, maybe it's a tumor. There is a brighter (about 1 1/2 stop more exposed) image of the same subject HERE

Sorry, but I think it's one of the more boing sunset photos. A sun plus some reflections of it in a pond of water - haven't we seen this before??? The clouds are uninteresting too.
