Found this picture in the Recent Interesting section of Flickr. Amazing sunset. I blogged about a similar picture a few weeks back, but this one tops it for sure. I love the centeredness of the tree, really helps the composition. And the saturation in the sky, along with the spectrum of colors in the sunset, gives a great effect. Very cool.

So I looked through the recent uploads to Flickr today, and it took a while to find something nice. On the first page, I saw a cool landscape picture, but I thought I’d look for something else… and then I waded through pages of mediocre junk before I saw piece. I love the composition, with the tree in the foreground and the little hill/peak in the back right. I think it would have been a better picture if it was taken a few minutes earlier in the sunset, so the sky was a little bit more colorful… but hey. You can’t control everything. If you could just re-wind the sun by 15 minutes any time you wanted to, we’d all have an easier time taking pictures outside.

I wanted to look through some sports pictures today. Although this isn’t exactly what I had in mind when I started flicking through Flickr, it is too cool. Like a lot of people commented, the timing here is perfect. I like the color. Only thing that seems a bit odd is the pose. If the player is jumping like that, I’d assume he’s trying to do some kind of bicycle kick – which means that his foot should be coming up under the ball. Instead it looks like he’s kind of drop kicking the ball kung fu style…
