My First Sunset Attempt

[funflyer26]

I am very new to not only photography but also to this forum (first post). I have a rebel xt with the kit lens and a canon 28-200mm lens.

I have never done any post processing, nor do I really know what all the features on the camera do, but I took this image with these settings:

Shooting Mode: Manual Exposure
Tv: 1/100
Av: 13.0
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 28mm
White Balance Mode: Auto

Any suggestions on either post processing, or what settings I should have used would be greatly appreciated.

i tried this, little bit of extra gamma, and then tried to highlight some of the dark bitrs. I am only very new to cs2, but i think it looks a little better. I do like your photo.
