Golden hour

Cracking shot which is beautifully composed. The child helps add a sense of scale and the dust and light add atmosphere. The timing of the shot is impeccable as there is no overlapping in the centre of the image with the horns of the cows.

Really nice shot with beautiful light but just a shame about the people in the foreground. I would have loved to have seen the photographer move forward a few meters to get a clean image and possibly zoom in a little.

For this contest we are looking for your golden hour shots (this is the time after sunrise and before sunset). All types of shots will be considered as long as they are taken during the golden hour and have that beautiful golden light.

A shot with fantastic timing that is beautifully composed. The silhouettes, the reflections, the light... it all adds to make the image look like a graphic poster. The attention to detail by the photographer is superb as even the fisherman in the background is perfectly positioned.
