~Softness and Beauty~

~Late Night Sunset~

I took this photograph almost 45 minutes after the sun vanished below the horizon. A high ISO and a relatively long exposure, handheld, dictated that I should soften the image, and maybe bump up the colors a bit. But truth be told, when sunsets are photographed this long after sundown the pastels just beg to be enhanced. On first look, one would think I really over worked the colors, but I just let them do their thing in post-processing. I do love the velvety soft pastels in this image, I hope you do too!

Thanks for looking, TucsonJim ;o)
