About This Image
I took this one while I was in northern Arizona recently.
Feedback Requested
All comments are welcome but my primary question is about the color. I left the hues alone but I boosted the saturation of the reds. Too much? I also debated whether to crop the image so that the glow of the sun would be more central but I tried cropping it and didn’t like the result.

Don I think your composition works really well the way it is. The location of the sun provides some balance with the taller hills to the left of the frame. I don’t think I would change anything there.
I think the colors look pretty good to my eye. Sky color at this time of day can be all over the map anything you have done here saturation-wise doesn’t hit me as unrealistic.
If anything at all I might be tempted to lighten the image just a bit, but that might push it beyond the duak window to much I like it as is.
Another exceptional image. Beautiful colors in the sky are well reproduced on the screen. I like the feeling of calm this image gives me. Reminds me a little bit of the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
I like the colors and sun placement as presented. I also like the exposure on the tree lines with the front one being almost silhouette and the back a little more detailed. The only possible change I might make would be to crop a little off the sky at the top. I see a dust spot where noted. Nice work
This looks like a lovely way to end the day IMO. All of the colors look just fine for my tastes and definitely not overdone. My only real suggestion would be to crop or clone out that tree top poking up from the LRC as it does catch my eye a little. I also like the bit of depth created with the darker tree line situated in front of the slightly lighter one. Very nicely done.
