It was a real fast shot when i was at work. Sunsets have been amazing this week and i took my camera to work in hopes. This was after a 17 hour day and i really wanted to get home! Just pointed and shot i guess standing in the bed of my truck. Hand held it at 1/10 so its not as clear as i would have wanted. Just to share what i saw. I desaturated the yellow too much but didnt see the result at first. nothing done to reds.. Graduated filter with a slight magenta tint on 1&2.
1.) 90mm macro lens f 6.7 1/10sec (oops)

2.) 10mm f/3.5 no tweaking to colors here.

3.) The next day i went with a tripod and found a good spot. Then not much of a sunset :/

like all three, the last is great without man made distractions although and molten steel in the clouds, nice shots
 
I'm with funwith there. #3 is beautiful and has a more natural look to me.
 
Thank you for the comments.
Yeah the first was a very un natural look naturally. The clouds were so bright that they were turning the back side of mountains red lighting them up, normally a silhouette. I had time to plan on the second so i guess it payed off.
Here is an untouched one to compare. All i did was convert to jpeg
