1 landscape and 1 cityscape

[Stormchase]

Been a while since i have posted. I went out before sun down hoping for a good sunset. Got an amazing one!
These are my 2 favorite. Im posting both the unedited and edited shots. Always looking for C&C so maybe they can help.
Both shot at 90mm

Looking over the west valley of Phoenix

Here are the unedited JPEG files. I dont know how to upload RAWs yet.

I dont know how to upload RAWs yet.

This site will not support RAW files, so you can't.

If at some time you want to show someone the RAW file, you'll have to post it on a site that does support that or just send the file via e-mail. Send a PM to a member to trade e-mails.

The West Valley one has quite a bit of desert scene (including what looks like a giant Cactus) that would act as a brilliant foreground but is missing from your edit. I know you were waiting for prime moment for the sky as it looks spectacular. My edit below tried to bring out the foreground and retain the sky but does not quite succeed on either point.

That is a sweet vantage point and well worth another visit or two.

I tried to play a little with the foreground on it and was never happy. Started looking odd. Thought it would help frame the scene blacking it out. It was getting dark as well and the terrain already left me a little bloody. I did get some other shots with foreground but I kinda dI'd an HDR edit. They are not as welcomed here

Here are a couple with forgrounds.
This one is a -3, 0, +3 HDR

everything was so pink and orange it was tuff to adjust it to look more like I saw it. I kinda left this with its colors. I didnt do the best with the graduated filter here.
