Do I need to tone down the red?

It's different and spooky.
I like it as is.

I like it as it is, so I'd say not. Depends on how much you care if it matches what you saw, I suppose.

Thanks for the replies, Jeremy and Eric. It's not journalistic, I mainly wanted to open the shadows, which was difficult to do without losing the beautiful saturation in the sky due to haze and smoke and to keep the sun from being blown. I liked that red strip of clouds across the top of the sun. I did back off the red saturation some in PS, but I think my red photoreceptors are stunned!
