Hi Pat, gorgeous sky. Maybe too much dark foreground but I understand that maybe the choice, to get this aspect ratio, was either dark foreground or colour empty sky at the top of the shot.

Wonderful scene Pat..Well composed...It may have payed to use Neat image or Noise Ninja as there is a bit noise noticable in the sky...You must have used a high ISO..The image is excellent..R.

The tiny amount of noise doesn't deter me on this!

I would have cropped a little off the bottom...otherwise......

Wonderful colors - they seem to burst out in an orange explosion. The foreground is dark but I know that it can't be helped.

Pat - A striking sunset! The yellow and gold hues are beautiful. When my eyes finally get to the upper portion of the photo, I find some noise. As well, I might have cropped some of the dark lower section. Thad

Beautiful colors Pat, I think I would have done a bit cropping at the bottom, and for some reason it seems a bit noisy.I might have tried noise removal on the sky. But the colors are striking. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I'm a sucker for sunsets, Pat, and this one is a beauty! I like the sharp contrast provided by the dark foreground. And the color in the sky is terrific. The darker parts of the image are a bit noisy, but it doesn't detract a great deal from the image.

A fantastic sunset for me to keep. If it were mine I'd have cropped a bit off the bottom. I'd be proud if I'd had taken it as it is.

Me too, Pat. Cropping about 1/3rd of the Black from the bottom does improve the balance, with no adverse effects to this dramatic image.
And one of the newer Noise reduction utilities, with the newer algorithms will do an nice job of overall smoothing without affecting the sharpness and detail.
