Lovely colours in that sky! You don't see that often around here.
That comp is a little too... messy for me, but I can see it's appeal.

I would have like to have seen something of interest on the ground or in the foreground, with that sunset behind?

Ah some feedback on this one finally! That's just what I needed mate. Was never sure about this one. I shot a bunch of others that evening, and this was an after-thought. Was looking for whether or not people thought it worked. Appreciate your feedback :D

ah this would be good if the trees were a bit thinner... but I like the way you think... sometimes the sunset can just be a tiny bit too harsh eh?

Yeah one of those that almost worked. Maybe if I had shot it just a bit sooner and the sun wasn't so low. :D

Raw! Just expose on a midtone in the sky. It'll probably silhouette the foreground, but the sky will be correctly exposed. Or expose on the foreground and use a GND filter if you don't want the foreground dark. Or just shoot two exposures and blend them in PP. :D
