This was taken from my window 3 days ago. The square structures you see in front are the chimneys of the single storied flat rooftop bungalows there. It is difficult to clone them out.
The late day �Golden Hour� is usually touted as one of the best time of day to shoot photographs, but I�ll take early morning light and color any time I can. Along with the dead of light, in the wee hours, mornings give me my best results. All this is obvious by the sky and silhouetted trees in this shot, although I probably would have cropped off the homes to make the image a pano. Just a thought.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Raj, I agree with you that cloning out the chimneys and the flat rooftops would have been a 'mission impossible'. The by 'Nik' done suggestion to crop this image, had 'destroyed' the character of your composition. Given the conditions, to me you've achieved the best possible result. Anyhow a very fine sunset image!
