What do you guys think? Too warm? Good composition? Be honest!

Keep in mind that I did do some post-processing as I prefer to shoot in raw. Boosted the contrast and brought out some more blacks to give it more depth. The white balance is pretty close to "as shot".

Since you asked..... Great composition! If you were post processing anyway, maybe something to bring a little more attention to the sky behind it. Excellent muted color and deep DOF! Great color contrast between the orange and green, too. I'm not a huge fan of HDR, but this would be a great candidate for it... but as my wife would tell you, I'm not an authority on anything....my two cents....half a cent after taxes! Welcome to DPS and thanks for sharing, Jonesy!

I like the comp but it does look slightly undexposed. Just a tad dark. Aside from that it is nice

I don't know what it is, but I always tend to go for darker exposures. I think when in my next shared shot, I'll expose a little brighter than normal.
