Default Sunset in Guatemala

Hi there!!

I was Raw-playing with the pictures I recently took in mytrip to Guatemala and I came across with this one. Moving the color balance from left to right and from right to left, some saturation here and there I finally got these sunset colors... The point is that those colors were not very really there (it was a cloudy-gray afternoon)... My question is... Does it look unreal? I mean, the changed temperature and balance make the picture not very believable? Or is it ok? Is a sky like that able to match with colors of the city? Thank you very much!!

Antigua from cerro de la cruz


EXIF: Nikon D90, 18-105. Shot at 18mm (27 in 35mm), f/11, 1/50s, ISO 250.

It certainly is a very colorful shot.
You have a nice story telling composition with shrubs at the begining, city in the middle and the mountain and clouds as a ending.
The street is a nice leading line once the eyes make it past the shrubs.
As far as looking un-real, I don't think so.
I feel it is a very nice shot and thanks for sharing..
