Fiery Sky Over Minneapolis by Ric Rosow

Submitted by Mill District resident Ric Rosow: 

This photograph is from a photo shoot the week of April 18th. As the sun was setting the clouds began turning bright orange with a golden hue. I have edited several photographs from that evening. In this image my purpose was to feature the fiery sky. I fully edited the image at least three times, thinking that for a balanced photograph I should not only feature the sky but bring out detail in the buildings in the foreground. Finally I realized that the foreground was not what drew me to the image. It was the sky that was the main attraction. The dark foreground focused my eye on the sky. That said, I also liked the sun’s reflection in the windows on the buildings. So while keeping the exposure down on the buildings, I worked to reveal the reflection of the sun's rays in the building windows on the left and right. I hope you enjoy this photograph as much as I do. You can see more of my work at:  www.traveltheglobephotography.com.
