Desert Sunset

Comments and positive critique welcome ...

I came here through a link from the forum discussion about 'HDR without the cartoon look'. Although this and your other photos don't have the cartoon look, their HDR origin is still too noticeable IMO. Colors are a bit too saturated, landscape is too bright and the sky too dark with too little contrast in it - the white edges of the clouds should pop out more. If you go for a spectacular image, ignore my remarks, but if you want realism, you should do some postprocessing and/or alter the tone-mapping settings.

This is spectacular!!
