Nice shot! You've got a good rule of thirds going on there.. And..
In response to what you said at the end.
I think I get what you mean, but.. I'm not sure you can "capture the emotion" of nature.. It's more that people find and create that emotion within themselves when they look at nature, but I'm guessing you kinda mean the same thing with different words.
Since you requested a share.. Lemme find a picture of one of my sunsets which I feel brings out some emotion in me.
I'm not sure which emotions it brings out in me.. But.. It makes me feel something. :) Maybe something kinda spiritual cause of how the light streams and wispy clouds feel..
Thanks! I'm glad you noticed the composition. I have about a dozen shots of that particular sunset and that was the one that to my eye had the best positioned horizon line. Not that I adhere to rule of thirds all the time, think of it as more "suggestion of thirds" if you will.
Take your very beautiful photo. The horizon line is perhaps lower than traditionally taught in school but you saved a lot of dead space by putting it lower than normal. Nicely composed and really interesting clouds. It almost looks like you have "god rays" streaming upward but that was just the cloud formation right? Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. In regards to rule of thirds, I agree. Though I generally try to do more rules so to speak.. I try to do more than just 3.. I try to do as many different bands of interesting subject matter than I an. :)
So like rules of 6 or 7 or however many. ._.

Yeah.. I prolly coulda been a little lower to balance it more, though I think I was focusing in on the cloud rays and didn't wanna lose that for the black bottom. Thanks for the thoughtful words and yeah.. I think it was just clouds and light rays bouncing off it. God rays is a good description, heh..
I dont know about thirds, quarters can be nice too in this sort of photo as it is the sky which feels so heavy give it the space. the land becomes a reference only !! Behold the power of the Universe above our heads !!
