Day 324: Hammersmith Twilight

Wednesday 19 November 2008; 1627 Hours

(20 minutes after sunset).

This is the view from the 8th Floor where I work. The sunset was great as well but the pre-twilight colours were even better.

I've tried as much as possible to clone out the lights and reflections from inside the office (the windows don't open).

you did a great job cloning it out. I see just one spot you missed, in that blue bit of sky on the left. I wouldn't have noticed though if you hadn't said. Stunning colours yesterday. I was looking at the same about the same time as you! I really like how you treat your images.
