 For this photo, I stopped across the street from the airport field in hopes of catching a plane in the sun, but my battery ran out literally seconds before I could get it.

I cropped the photo and adjusted the curves slightly. I also cloned out one imperfection from my lens on the right side of the picture. No other adjustments were made.

Quote - ' "sun-set" – noun: The daily descent of the sun below the western horizon.' Opps I can still see it!

I really like the clouds on this, and the way the orange/red slowly fade into blue. The whispy cirrus clouds add a great dreamy feel to things.
