On Fire
I never photograph sunsets. I think it’s been done so many times and by so many talented photographers, that there is nothing new I could possibly contribute to the art of sunset imagery. I happened to have my camera in hand when I walked by this pampas grass which seemed to be on fire with the sun setting behind it. It was practically in my backyard and I snapped a few frames. I recently posted it on FB and G+ and was amazed by its popularity.
Lessons learned:
1) People love sunsets
2) Even if a subject has been done millions of times before, try to shoot it differently, add you own personal vision and create something a little different.

That is one amazing photograph. I doubt folks will ever tire of such beautiful light
What a beautiful picture! I know that I, for one, never tire of sunsets – they are generally so beautiful! Thank you for stopping to take the picture, and then sharing it with us!
I wholeheartedly agree on both lessons learned
Stunning photograph and I agree with the lessons learned; beauty, so often, is in the small details. Thanks Valerie!
Wonderful photo!
I love it!! I love sunsets too and could never get tired of them. They take my breath away every single time! Oh, and Happy New Year!!
No sunset is ever the same as another. You captured it so beautifully different.
Le couché de soleil à la couleur du végétal, joli!!
Bon aprés-midi,

I agree with you in that sunsets have been done so many times, but I love your interpretation – it is really so different. Setting suns make lovely colours on grass heads & finely leaved plants.
Beautiful!
