Too Warm?

[tjdhulst]

I took this picture today as the setting sun was trying to break through the afternoon clouds. In RAW it was about 5400 K which seemed too cool for me and not what my eye saw. I then tried it 6500 K and 7500 K (cloudy and shade white balance settings respectively) and I finally ended on the 7500 K image. Is it too warm for most viewers? I know some will say yes but what does the majority say? That's the main question, if anyone has any other suggestions or critiques on it as well I'd love to hear about them.

The shot you made is great and to be honest I like 7500 K temperature. To be honest I could use even a bit warmer tones like 7600K. It will look more like sunrise shot . Maybe I'd also increase the exposure. Could you paste in some metadata? But about the temperature I'm OK with it

I like the warm temp. It gives it a sunrise sort of look.

[hey joni]

colout temp looks fine, not too warm at all. It's a nice shot.

Nit picking: I would remove the red thing that is attached to the hut, it's a bit distracting and out of place IMO.it's the only red thing in the shot and I can see it a mile off in amongst the nice browns, whites and yellows.

But as I said, it's a nice shot
