Default My Sunset Shot?

So, I'm new and very excited. haha. I need all your opinions for this one. I played with curves in PS just because I wanted to bring out the colors in the sky. A few said it was too dark, but I didn't really care for the stuff on the ground. I liked the outcome, but the tree on the left bothers me a bit. haha. feel free to re-edit and repost. Thanks so much.

It's just SO.

I think all the other stuff takes away from it all. For a pull-over-quickie it's okay. Some better positioning in the lot would have helped. Nice colors that should stand out by themselves if at all possible.

As do I. Power lines, posts, buildings... I wish I drove a cherry picker.

Nice sunset colors but unfortunately it is difficult living in the city to get those ugly lamp posts etc out of the shot Well done

Good work, but isn't it just a tad bit underexposed? Or is it my display (CRT here at work)?

I dodnt know, I like the posts there. If it were just the posts there and not the trees i think it might make a very dramtic photo. Of course you woul dhave to black out the light in them

Yes agree with windrider86 as well, without the trees and maybe another type of angle that would show some leading lines with the posts, and yes of course without the lights
