Sunset

How do you like this sunset shot? Any ideas on how could I have made it better or on any post processing I might add to it?

Thanks

Hi! It's a pretty shot but quite honestly it's not real compelling. The way the angled hill is positioned in the composition is pretty distracting. Also, not quite sure about the purple hue along the upper right. That looks very un-natural. Were you using a filter or is this a product of the white balance setting or post processing?

I think overall your exposure is good and you've done well with the colors around the sun. The composition just doesn't work real well. I think it could work if you could find something else in the foreground that could become the subject or work on how to compose with the angled hill a little better (zoom out, in, or move around). I'm thinking zoom out a bit so more of the right side down slope is visible to balance the angled lines a bit more? Also, maybe use the good 'ol rule of thirds and get the sun a little more on a 1/3 grid?

Hope that helps!
