Photographer's Note
This is the view from around Victoria Peak in Hong Kong right after the storm. As you see, there were still clouds that lingered, still "pregnant" with water! Luckily, I was able to rush back indoors to save my camera from the rain that transpired about 15 minutes after I took this shot.
I also have zoom shot of this, which you can view in my DPC portfolio. Just click on my intro to access it.

I’m not a big fan of landscapes, but this one really attracted my attention. Good balance in the composition, and stunning colors!

I like the well balanced overall exposure good job,the yellowish saturation+tone all over the place is superb.Could have tried with f/11 or higher to make it more sharper.

Interesting frame, also because you disobeyed the 1/3th rule here ;-) I love your capture of the sun breaking through the clouds and highlighting the islands on the right. Well done Michael, a nice atmospheric landscape shot you got here.

Red, orange, purpole, rose sunsets are nice but so often seen, this yellow sky is really neat and different and lovely. Also like how the mountain silhouette. Well done.

Lovely, IMO this doesn't need any sharpening, the slight blur is appropriate in the low light conditions. The yellow tint is quite unusual in sunset pictures like this, I like it! I love the clouds below the mountain tops and the scattered boats.

Beautiful photo, whith the right amount of sky and land/water.
I love the boats, because they give a notion of the scales.

What incredible colours, I've never seen a yellow sky before, the bright highlights on the water make the lower part of the picture stand out!

The colors of this shot give a serene and peaceful atmosphere yet daunting beacuse of the heavy clouds! Great shot...

Magical. The light here is perfect and the clound play a very important role in your composition. The boats on the water are a nice touch as well. Simply an amazing shot.

Unbelievable! You're so lucky that such sight get captured very well. I like the lower half-part very much.

Nice color and composition. The photos looks kind of stiff to me, like flat and 2D, especially the water part. Perhaps there's something wrong with my eyes. It's a nice attempt, and we don't get such good luck all the time.

What a nice shot.
Superbe photo. J'aime ce jaune qui est prédominant et les petits bateaux qui font penser à des troncs d'arbres. Bien composé.
