The sun was setting and partially hidden behind a house, hence the light only at the top of the post.
The band thing in the sky is because I have a very cheap polariser... well, it wasn't cheap but doesn't work too well with a 17mm lens on full frame.
Editing: hardly anything... raw file was adjusted for white balance, boosted vibrance and saturation and contrast.
In Photoshop I ran Noise Ninja over everything to smooth the sky a little bit and did a slight levels adjustment to bring out some of the mids in the post. Also did a USM of 15/25 and another one at 70/.3
This is my first submission in ages to DPC.

I score this image quite high in my voting phase, and now I'm commenting, I think the simplicity and the colour really appealed to me. I love the colour gradient, and the detail in the wood... and the composition is excellent.
