 During a hike, I could not resist taking this sunset photograph and submit it for this challenge.

I tried to make a composition to represent as closely as possible the emotion and beauty of the sky that was presenting to me. I want to have succeeded

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting cloudscape that meets the challenge

It's often difficult to accurately record the stunning beauty of nature as we see it, the camera's metering being geared to produce an average result for an average scene but what you have here is beyond the camera's ability to accurately record being outside the dynamic range that it has.

What lets the image down most of all for me is the massive burnt out area in the middle where the sun was at its brightest and also your processing. In your attempts to rescue the shot you have gone too far with the processing and you now have an unnatural abruptness between the transition areas where there should be a softer natural blending from one colour to another. These sort of shots usually work best in more natural surroundings so here we are left with near silhouettes that in themselves do not form interesting enough shapes so we really need to see more of the detail itself.

Sorry Marcel, it doesn't work for me this time but a potentially good attempt, thanks for submitting, Sid
