    Re: Tressel Sunset

    Is that really the color you saw?

    I do like the composition and find the foreground interesting but I wish the format was a bit taller to include more sky and a bit more of the land/buildings.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    this is the original photo....I saturated the color slightly to bring out more orange by the horizon....i also cut off the dark cloud above....do you think it is more effective with or without it?

    I prefer the original colour as it looks more natural- as for the composition I quite like the cloud but wish it was quite so dark.

    I agree with MB abut the cropped version needs a bit of height.

    I'm going to say, I like the original better. Maybe a little less saturation would work.
    Keep Shooting!
