I love the cloud banding across the face of the Sun! I wouls like to see if you could pull up the shadows a bit -- there might not be anything there but I'd like to see.

Thanks,

Brian

Awesome sunset. I too would like just a tad more lightness in the foreground (somewhere between this and your brightened second post). But it is a very special shot.

I love the layers in this! The clouds across the sun sort of echo the pattern of the water and land, it is very effective. I like this as shown, I'm not sure I'd brighten the foreground very much, maybe just to get a little more separation of the mountain ridge.

I like the vertical presentation. The clouds across the sun are too cool, er, hot.

Dramatic shot! I vote for somewhere in between the two images for my tastes.

Looks great. Love the cloud bands across the sun. I’m just bummed I can't view the vertical pano properly on this puny monitor. I'll have to come back for a better look.

Cool shot, saying hot doesn't seem to work. I'm not too concerned with the foreground detail as too much might detract from the sunrise.
