This is a great example of what can be achieved if you wait a while - the 9th September was a bright evening - I was late getting home but picked up my camera and drove up to the crossroads at Shipton Down....the sun had just about set and I didn't have my first choice of location - another chap was there - still no matter, I included the signpost in my composition. The shots that I got were OK, but the best was yet to come - the other chap left pretty soon after the sunset - a shame because the sky turned a beautiful colour of blue going nicely with the orange on the horizon - a few clouds in the sky make it a bit more interesting. I stayed maybe an extra 45 minutes before heading home for dinner...it had been a long day.

Postprocessing involved a grad on the sky to enhance the colours slightly - some lightening of the foreground to gain hint of the road and the road sign and the usual noise reduction and sharpening. Technical Details:
