    Sunset

    Heres a sunset shot that I took over T-day break at home that I thought was pretty good. What do you guys think of this one?

    Simple and gorgeous. Could crop off a little of the top, but that's just personal preference.

    Re: Sunset

    I like the simple composition with a good silhouette. It seems a bit underexposed and would recommend a simple levels adjustment to really light it up.

    Re: Sunset

    Thanks for the input guys, and Chunk, thanks for that shot of the levels with adjustments already made to it, I'm deffenitley still in the learning stage of PP and its helpful to have things like that to look at for a ballpark idea of where to even start with things like that.
    How does this newer version look with levels and a small crop of the top?
    Thanks again for all the help its greatly appreciated.

    Very nice muted colors here. I like it as is. Perhaps a little sharper and maybe even more sky to create an isolated feel for the tree, but still nice.
