Sunset in the Park

[BeaKeR]

Hey all,
Been away for DGrin for a while but it's nice to be back! While everyone else was out looking for fireworks, I headed over to the park for a couple shots. C&C always appreciated.

Hi Beaker, glad that you came back to us! :D

This is quite a lovely sunset. I think it's just a touch underexposed (I'd like to see the cloud highlights a bit brighter) but you've got some great color and I like the lines in the composition. :thumb

I agree; great shot that likely could be improved with a little curves.

Thanks all for your kind words.

I had actually wrestled with brightening it earlier, but decided it being darker gave it a more "sunset" feel. But after your feedback I revisited it with a bit of curves. It's a subtle difference, and a bit tricky not blowing out the cloud highlights, but I think I like it better. Thanks for the suggestion!
