The sunset was particularly nice that evening and the cloud formation gave the colors range. Adjusted levels to bring more pop in the light and bumped up contrast. Ran through neatimage to soften the grain.

Lovely colours here and the texture in the sky is good too. I particularly like the two towers piercing the sky like that. 7/10

I really like this. I'm just an amature, so I may not be sure what I'm saying here, but this is what I think. I like the texture in the clouds, the sunbeams, and how that last bit of sun is making the tip of the tower glow. The way the clouds flow really pull you into the picture, the past the glowing tower and off to that last ray of sun that you don't want to set. This is the kind of picture I want to capable of. Very good work. 10

There's not really anything in focus here. The colors are very pretty, but the colors alone are not enough to make a winning image.

I'm not sure I like the very strong red/pinks in the sky here, or the wide presentation, but it's a pretty good photo otherwise.

beautiful sky. Would have liked it more with a more simplified composition, maybe eliminating the statue on left???

since there are only a few weeks since I've been in Paris, I don't remember the skies ever being purple...

the colors are way over processed, if you use HUE to tone it down a bit closer to blue, just to get rid of the purple, the red and orange colors will look more realistic, and the image will look good.

I have to score it low due to overprocessing...

hmmm - not crazy about the pink sky. Just does not look natural. The crop seems tight along the horizon. The feeling of depth is well done.

Beautiful colors in the sky!

The colours here are really stunning, but I think the composition is weak. Maybe having extra black space at the bottom would ground the objects of interest more, adding to their impact?
