Exactly what would you like help with? Photoshop/manipulating the print, or are you asking how to take a better photo of this scene? My first thought was that you have some nice colors. My second thought was that you have nothing but the sky in your shot. Sunsets are much more interesting with something else in the frame, such as silhouetted sailboats or people or a mountain, etc. Just be sure to watch for 'merging' of your subjects. They might look fine to your eye, but when silhouetted, they will photograph very dark to black. Think 'shape' and 'form' when doing silhouettes. If you would like your subjects to show up against the sunset, try using an ND grad filter -- half clear, half filterized. This way, depending on the strength of the filterized half of the ND grad, you will bring the two extremes of light and dark closer together, thus enabling your camera to capture both the subject and the sunset on film. Before attaching the ND grad, take separate meter readings from the sky and the subject. Knowing the difference between the two exposures will help you decide which grad filter to use - e.g., a stronger filter (2-stop, for instance) will bring the sky exposure down 2 stops. If your subject was two stops darker than the sky without the filter, then you now have an evenly exposed scene with the filter in place. Be sure to line up the "line" of the filter with your "horizon" (demarcation between the two extreme exposure areas) before shooting! Good luck.

include more mountains at the bottom and don't include the eave at the upper right. By recomposing in this fashion, you will crop out some or the blank sky at the very top. Tony Sweet
