Nice composition, especially the sun at the top left, partially hidden by the clouds. Wondering if a lower apreture would have given you a faster shutter speed (since there are no other elements in the picture for a DOF), which in turn may have cut out some of the burn in the sun. Just my thoughts, may be wrong . . . . however, no taking away the great feel of the photo. Thanks for sharing.

Nice composition. The colours and the cloud patterns look nice. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you could have tried a wider composition without the 1.4 TC. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rajan,
Thanks for the critique. I preferred a narrower aperture as there were. Multiple layers in the image, albeit near infinity. A wider aperture as such would not have made much impact on the DOF at that distance I feel. So your suggestions are perfectly Valid :)

Hi Mrudul,
Thanks for the critique. I do have wider ones at 17mm, 100mm and 300mm. Will post them soon. I chose this for the reason that the sun looked big and fiery in this.

Lovely image Bibhav. Here goes my reel to real comparison :).This image reminds me of a scene in the film Bram Stoker's Dracula wherein it's a challenge to reach the count's castle before sunset and the sun is shown between the clouds setting at a fast pace. Brings back those moments :). Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm....Bram Stoker's dracula and conservation! I had read that book when I was a kid. Haven't seen the movie.

Nice image. I agree that a bit wider composition would have been even better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
