 It was interesting for me to see such a filter looking image without any color alterations or filters.

I can appreciate what you were going for, and what a beautiful sunset it must have been. Unfortunately, if you were to look at a histogram for this shot you'd see that the whites and blacks are both clipped. You've got blown highlights in the clouds, and the much of the foreground goes completely black and lacks any detail.

Is this really shot with a camcorder? For a regular DSLR some would recommend a graduated ND filter. That would darken the sky, while still letting you expose properly for the foreground. You could do essentially the same thing in post-processing using gradient filters. Darken from the top, lighten from the bottom.

Perhaps it is the title that draws more attention to the dark foreground than necessary. I like the hazyness.

I love sunsets. You get so many color variations. Especially if you over/under expose. For me the two trees anchor the shot. The sunset is the star of the show.

The sky is beautiful. It looks like it needs a bit of a filter or processing. I can certainly understand sjhuls comment, but I kind of like the foreground tractor. I realize that may not appeal to all, but it creates some cool mystery and feel to the shot for me.

Beautiful sky. I just wish I could see the tractor a bit more. It looks very interesting.
