Sunset Untouched VS Sunset Edited


Photo was taken Oct 7, 2012 @55mm, ISO 100, F/ AV 6.7, TV/Shutter Speed of 1.5 Sec
The top picture has been edited on lightroom while the bottom was exported simply RAW file from the DSLR.
 Here is a picture of a nice sunset in Billings. Overall I like the colors especially since the foreground is completely blacked out, the attention of the photo is drawn to the actual "mountains"(of course these are not real mountains) in the lower third of the frame. The warm colors of the setting sun and the clouds capture the viewers attention. I have presented both the before and after versions. I like the after a lot better simply because it is a warmer more attractive sunset. As quoted in Nature Photography "red is more attractive then yellow" and I was also able to clone out the bright yellow squiggle.
