Default Atlanta Sunset

The link below is a photo I took of a Sunset in Atlanta.

I am interested in any feedback.

Harry, since you really know photography I would like to hear your
feedback too.

That it is. The image is striking, no question about it, but has an
unnatural quality to it. I guess it depends on what kind of effect
you were trying to achieve.

I should add that I am not a fan of photos depicting nature as it is
not. I take lots of landscape and nature photos, but I never try to
manipulate photos so they don't look like what my eyes see.

That is definitely a common school of thought in photography.

Here is the same photo processing it to look more natural. Shooting
into the sun will result in loosing the all detail in the foreground, so
I have been playing with HDR and Photoshop to extract the foreground
detail. I really can't decided if I like the HDR yet, but I do enjoy
experimenting.

Well, of course! But in photography classes they do tend to teach you
to manipulate photos, it's called art.
