Default Twilight?

Don't know if you would call it twilight or simply a sunset without seeing the sun itself, but here is my shot:



The original Photo had a little less pink and more blue on the top of the picture. I've added some vibrance and saturation in the post production and like it this way, but nether then less I've got some doubts.

My question is now... is it too much?


Camera model Canon EOS 60D
Lens EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Aperture f/5.0
Exposure 1/60s
ISO 100
Focal length 47.0 mm
Flash fired Did not fire

Nice colors, but they don't look realistic to me. If it was my shot, I would back off the saturation.

Here I've no saturation and just a little vibrance. Is it so better?

Yes, I would say that's definitely better. One more minor thing - your tree silhouettes are kind of muddled. It's better if you can find a tree or trees that have a clean silhouette with no other trees behind them to muddle up the silhouette. I know that may not always be possible, though.
