The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
There’s no unusual story here. I set up in a high place where I’d have a good view of the sunset and the twilight.
Specific Feedback
I put this one aside for a while because I wasn’t sure what to do with the colors. I’m mostly interested in reactions to the colors but all comments will be appreciated.
Technical Details
ISO 100, 115mm, f/16, 1/8th second.

Don, what a beautiful gradation of complementary tones of blue and orange. My eye keeps traveling from the dark tones of blue to the wonderfully warm reds, oranges, and golds, and back down again. Those of us who have seen such a sunset know that no post-processing is needed to augment the colors. Beautiful.
I really like the layers and the range of colours. Cropping it to 18 by 9, hence removing the top brightest yellow and next upper darker transition might result in a more harmonious photo, with a single set of graduations from dark to light. You would then have a very different photo and I am not sure which one I would prefer.
Don, I think you’ve handled the colors really well in this. I really like all of the layers, layers of hills, layers of clouds, layers of color. All look very natural and very peaceful and serene.
Don, I was attracted to this image primarily because I love the layers of colors . The soft layers make this a lovely meditative piece, perfect for a large wall canvas. I also like the interesting shapes of the blue mountains that anchor the bottom layers.
