About the Image(s)
Sunsets in Door County are often quite wonderful, but this one is a puzzler as well. The colors are just as we saw them. Other photographers have the same results. The best we can figure is that there is a cloud with a sharp edge which the sun is peeking around on the left third of the photo casting the yellow light. In any case, the iPhone settings were ISO 32, f/2.2, 1/40 sec. The time was five minutes after the actual sunset. I really love the colors so when I took it into Photoshop I simply straightened the horizon,
cropped, and cloned out a couple of distracting elements. The only other treatment was my usual output local contrast enhancement. If anyone has more astronomy insights, I'd love the explore the phenomenon.

I agree with Abe that some cropping would help make it pop, but would go further. I cropped it as shown in the thumbnail. See if you like it.   Posted: 09/24/2019 09:19:40
