Stormy sunset with rework
I took this tonight as storm clouds skirted town. Nothing much was happening when all of a sudden the horizon started glowing. The ground is the big ditch around town that was built in the mid-80s after a major flood soaked much of the town. The ditch has done well, protecting town through several potential floods. Not much water in the ditch at the moment. C&C always welcome and appreciated, thanks for looking.

Nice color in this one, Rob. There are three distinct layers to this image - clouds, pink glow and grass. They're nicely balanced. The foreground reflection is nice, too.

Nice job Rob. It always amazes me the colors that can be produced around a stormy sunset. I have seen a few very pinkish and magenta sunsets this year as well. I really like this shot due to the white low hanging clouds in front.
Keep that camera handy out there, there are probably still more to come. Well done.

Brad

Rob, a really nice combination of cloud detail and colors here. I like how the color is reflected in the pool of water to break up the fg. Keep 'em coming!

Here is a completely reworked version which I think is truer to the original conditions. What do you think? Thanks for looking again.
