Sunsets

I've fiddled around some with the Sunset challenge. I don't have anything earth-shattering yet, but I do have a few to review.

This one is my favorite so far - my neighbor's flying pig! I think it's cheeky! (And I like the moon up in the corner.)

Since I live in the city, it's difficult to get an unobstructed view. I did get a few nice shots out at the farm over Christmas with my brother's iPhone.

Tonight I experimented with taking some abstract style shots through the trees. First off, though, colors were gorgeous tonight!

I got one abstract that I like:

Then I took one of these and inverted colors, and I like the texture of it.

Tapping this one into Lightbox Photo Challenge for circles. It's not a full circle in the picture, but I think it still counts!
