the colors here are mostly imagined. i thought about not putting the blue back, keeping the water and sky entirely tinted orange, but ended up letting the blue back. just a little.

Another sunset from the highway bridge near my house. This one’s all about clouds. Flattening it for non-HDR was *fun*.
