Earthly Fire

The sun had set over Balance Rock near the Window section of Arches, and the 2nd half of the light show began. Clouds caught on fire, followed by an increasing red glow to the rocks. I was giddy. Turret Arch can be seen just to the left of the right FG monolith. While these colors are intense, I have tired to reproduce them as faithfully as possible, as it is easy to overdue the red rock. My technique is to compare the image directly after capture, adjust white balance and saturation/tone etc. to match the scene. Usually, only WB needs adjustment. I find if difficult to faithfully reproduce colors a week (or more) later as my memory is not that good.
