Sunset over Lake Havasu


I captured this sunset view of Arizona's Lake Havasu from my parent's backyard on Saturday evening. In composing the shot, I opted to add the silhouetted flower and to shoot with a shallow depth of field to add depth to the image.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of the placement of the flower's stem centered against the setting sun? Does it work as it is or should I have placed the stem off to either side?

I like it centered. In fact, I would have liked it even a little more centered. I think you should go one way or the other.

It looks good centered. It gives you a single point of interest rather than splitting it up; draws your eye in.

I actually would prefer it off to one side...I think. Without seeing it, it's hard to determine. Great picture either way. I'm not really sure how to fully explain what I see. To me it seems too "set-up" to truly capture the setting. Maybe a bad choice of words. Like I mentioned above, it's difficult to tell without seeing it the other way.
