Got out of work today to find this waiting for me. It is virtual;y straight from the camera. i adjusted the levels a bit to lighten the shot and then sharpened a little. That was it. Those were the colors. Don't know how if will do. After all I think most are focusing on the humor aspect and not the wonder in amazement. I also accept that it is one of probably 100 sunset shots. But everyone like this still takes my breath away and I have to photograph any and all of them when I have my camera present with me.

Congrats! What a great photo. I too travel with my camera every day. I hope only I'm as fortunant to capture such a great sunset like that. Thank You for sharing it with us.
Your description of this photo reminded me of things I used to say when I was working in Wisconsin for a summer, years ago. The skies there are so magnificent, and down here in Illinois, I don't get much chance to observe beautiful skies. So when I get the chance like that, I too stop and wonder. I've forgotten how much I enjoy just stopping and being amazed by our skies.
I'm glad this won. This is certainly bizarre and also just plain wonderful. Lucky you to have seen it and had your camera along to catch it. Well done.
I will post the original later. It is at work so I can't get to it now. but if I remember right the original didn't look much different than this. And I can assure you that in real life it was close to this color, maybe even brighter.
love this shot. looks like an impressionist painting. wish there was a half stop more in the landscape, the darkness takes away from the sky as your eye is drawn to the bottom. overall beautiful shot (8)
It is amazing. Gorgeous colors - are they natural or did you saturate them? Looks cool either way. Love the shapes of the clouds. I haven't gotten that far in the voting but you are my first 9. Don't thing I've even given an 8 yet! Congrats. Best of luck to you. :-)
Yep. It IS amazing. Totally unbelievable colours. That's some wild cloud formation. I really like the way you have used the whole scene to create the total impact of the image. Excellent work.
Simply Amazing
