Love this shot ! Funny how 5 years ago, so many of the members here hated HDR. I loved it from the start ☺

Lovely picture, the 30 second exposure adds a wonderful effect to the clouds.

What a stunning picture, ozziebadger, and it deservedly wins the 'My Best Photo of the Week' challenge. I really like the colours of the sunset over The Tweed, and I can see an analogy between the once-mighty tree trunk with its gnarled roots, and the dying day, still with its beautiful pinks and purples. This too will soon be gone.
