 This was a real sunset over a nearby dual carrageway. The brightness and contrast were adjusted and the colours tweaked very slightly, although these were the original colours with a bizarre really well defined strip of yellow under the red sunset clouds and dark blue sky above them. I grabbed the camera and drove for miles before i found a spot where i could get the different parts of the sky in a shot

I relly like the photo, but the glare of the first light post really competes with the horizon. When I squint from a distance, it over powers the composition. Given the editing latitude, could that have been taken out?

The horizon feels a tad tilted. The action is on the ground and becomes the subject. There isn't much going on in the sky so there shouldn't be that much of it there. A center horizon would have worked here. (one of the very few times I would use that composition)
