Dusty Sunset

Hi all,

I took this on a cruise in the Caribbean a couple of years ago. A lot of dust had been blown off Africa and it made for some interesting lighting. This is pretty close to as shot, just a few edits to sharpen it and a small amount of saturation. I would love some feedback. Do you like the monochromatic feel? Too drab?

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Hi,

We get a lot of these here in Israel, and I love them. What I have a problem with in this photo is having the sun close to the frame but out of it. Almost, but not. It's still nice, but it leaves me with this strange feeling.

Thanks Oren. I struggle with that a bit too. When I crop down from the top the picture gets a little dark. I notice I have done this in several pictures, so I really appreciate the feedback. Looks like I either need to lower the camera or flip it to portrait or wait till the sun is a little lower.
