Default Great sunset tonight....
We had storms to the south of us, so the northern skyline was filled with wonderful sunset colors. I had to boost the contrast a bit to get the trees in the foreground to disappear. If I desaturate the a bit, or turn down their vibrance I loose this wonderful color.

What do you think? First one is just a crop, as I had to much of the field in the foreground. The second has just the hint of a barn in it, not sure about that.

Beautiful skies. Both shots are fine.....barn does not distract I don't think.

It's hard to see in the smaller version.........in the large version it can be barely seen just up and to the right of the lower left corner.
