On my way home from Erie last night the sunset was just gorgeous and so I had to pull over and take this image.

Love the color bouncing off the bottom of the clouds David.

I will be moving this to M&N due to the house. Hope you understand.

Another nice roadshot! How great to have your priorities in order, stopping to enjoy and capture scenes like this, instead of rushing down the highway. Lots of dynamic range here, but you captured both highlights and shadows well.

Great sky, but it looks a bit over processed - the clouds look unnaturally dark and the highlights look like too much recovery has been applied. Foreground is not very interesting, but I do like the little house in the background. If this were mine I'd reprocess the sky, crop half of it off to get rid of the cloudless bit, and crop a fair slice off the bottom. The resulting pano will make the house more dominant and the overall comp more balanced - in my personal opinion that is of course. Hope that makes sense.
