Nice image.

You, Kevin? Accused of pushing sliders too far? Surely not ;)

It does indeed, Kevin. I always smile when people who have perhaps never been to a location tells others "Oh, that is surely fake, sunsets like that does not exist in XX (add location to taste)" :D

Well, I did this last winter, but I am also seeing a lot of great colours in the sky "thanks" to all that is going on in CA lately :(

Thank you Murph, glad you enjoyed it :) Perhaps it depends on when you go, I seem to often find good skies in DV and good sunsets / sunrises...

Best regards,
