The sunset was particularly nice that evening and the cloud formation gave the colors range. Adjusted levels to bring more pop in the light and bumped up contrast. Ran through neatimage to soften the grain.

I really like this. I'm just an amature, so I may not be sure what I'm saying here, but this is what I think. I like the texture in the clouds, the sunbeams, and how that last bit of sun is making the tip of the tower glow. The way the clouds flow really pull you into the picture, the past the glowing tower and off to that last ray of sun that you don't want to set. This is the kind of picture I want to capable of. Very good work. 10
since there are only a few weeks since I've been in Paris, I don't remember the skies ever being purple...
the colors are way over processed, if you use HUE to tone it down a bit closer to blue, just to get rid of the purple, the red and orange colors will look more realistic, and the image will look good.
The colours here are really stunning, but I think the composition is weak. Maybe having extra black space at the bottom would ground the objects of interest more, adding to their impact?
