Title: Equilibrium

Location: West Dyke Trail, Richmond

Edition: 1/1

One of the most breathtaking sunsets I’ve seen in my life. I watched as the clouds took on a wing-like formation in the sky. It felt like I was witnessing nature reveal her next masterpiece. As the sun descended, the last light partially lit up the low lying clouds helping them take on a very saturated red color. The clouds on the right of the image retained their usual blue colors. Mesmerized, I photographed the sunset until dusk.

This edit focuses on the beauty of the sky. A story about the red and blue clouds, two colors that work wonders together. By raising the saturation of both of these colors I aimed to bring out a nice color contrast. In post-processing I wanted to further emphasize this idea of balance. I added a lake reflection to mirror the sky. This created another dimension of balance. The reds and blues joined together in the middle, leading the eyes into the image. In the center, the colors divided into two sides. A sunset that presented a natural equilibrium of colors.
