i added your exif data to your post to encourage cirtique.....i strongly suggest that you do the same next time you care to submit an image.....

without knowing what you intended to capture other than a striking image of a sunset, i will give you a quick and easy critique....

the color is stunning and your silhouette is sharp....although i would have preferred to have had less silhouette and more amazing sky...

thanks for posting......and if you get the chance, take a look at the critique forum rules at the top of the critique section listings......it will make the most powerful learning tool here a more satisfactory experience for you...

thanks

the color....beautiful.

I really love the color, perfect. What would really make this is if you could get more tones in those foothills. I think I can make out 4 "layers", but I have to really strain. If you could maybe make some post-production adjustments to really pull those apart with greater tonal differences, I think you'd have an even more amazing shot. I think if you pulled those apart, you could do less sky...remember thirds. If you can't pull them apart, then I go the other way with it and show more sky. I think it's all balancing on getting better separation between those 4 levels of foothills. Am I making sense?
