I haven't been shooting much lately, but here's a picture of a lovely sunset from our place in Prineville. I loved how the upper layer of clouds looked like glowing embers.

Yes, very good looking shot, Marylynne. And a beautiful sunset to work with. Love the layers, esp. the blues on the right.

Yep, those layers work nicely, Marylynne. For what it's worth, I think the distance you were far enough away from the subject, mountain and sky, that you could have used an f/stop around 5, which might have resulted in a bit more sharpness on that 24-105. By f/13, especially on the 7D, you're entering into diffraction space where everything starts to get soft.
By the way, I love the 24-105. I used it almost exclusively during our two week trip to Vienna and Paris last month.

Very nice shot Marylynne. The sky colors and composition are excellent. The ember look to those top clouds is really cool.
