Lovely complementary colours,

I think the image would benefit with more of a panoramic crop removing about 2/3rds of the sky - try the sheet of paper test masking off as above (but that might just be my style of landscape imagery)

A beautiful twilight glow you've captured here. Makes it all worth while to be out and about on an evening like this.

Gorgeous scene John with options for cropping too although I do like the violet sky :smile:

Beautiful sunset you have captured there. Did you know there were Waxwings in Sully? Apparantly there were a couple in Western Avenue today.
