 I was driving home from a concert one night late in june when I saw this gorgeous sunset and I just had to stop and take lots of pictures. This one came out best.

Workflow:
cloned out dust spots, used healing brush a wee bit in the clouds.
Levels adjustment layer to increase contrast.
Curves adjustment layer for the sky
Curves for the whole picture
Little bit of color balance
removed a bit of noise in the blue channel
added a small bit of vignetting
flattened layers, resized to 720pixels
sharpened and saved.

Beautiful! I could do without the top 1/4 of the shot, just enough to show the change color of the sky. Lovely photo nonetheless.
