Some great solid colour in the sky at sunset

No PP, straight from the D200 (only resized and cropped slightly at the bottom)

Barrie! Beautiful, just simply gorgeous colour (straight from camera WOW).

All equals intense colour

Your a master at delivering beautiful in camera colour Barrie. Did you take any other shots as the sunset over the factory ?

simple and stunning

Sadly no, I was just coming out of work when it was at this stage

Fantastic shot!!

Was suprised to know there was no PP. Well Done.

Very simple, very nice. Well done.

Fantastic shot, Barrie! Love it.

I meant to mention the 2 UFO's floating in the sky just left of the taller smoke stacks.

I would have cloned them out.

Awesome shot, love the colours, well done

I thought they might of been planes or birds.... but your right they could be UFO's or UFR (unidentified flying rabbits).

Beautiful shot Barrie. Whatever the two dots are, they do look like UFOs.

Nice Barrie - so you shoot in jpeg?

I left them in (two birds), they look great on the full size image, a 100% crop shows good detail in the birds)

Any chance of a 100 crop of the birds then, if your gloating about it, I'd like to see it Barrie

Indeed I do, at this point for most stuff its very good (fine JPG, highest quality).

I don't subscribe to the whole RAW v JPG debate, in my experience an extremely high quality JPG can be manipulated as much a RAW file (including WB and highlight/shadow recovery etc) - especially in PS if you save the JPG as a TIFF or PSD for working on.

With sunset shots like this, JPG is perfect, because the colour is there and all I want to do afterwards is crop slightly

I'm not gloating , I was just saying they were easily identifiable as birds if you looked at the full size image (on screen or printed A3)

Disclaimer: I shoot RAW

I don't believe in that debate either Barrie. We all should choose what suits us. For me I'm so lousy at nailing the expsoure I shoot raw to give me the latitude to fix it in PP

Whether you use RAW or JPG a shitty image is still a shitty image

I only used the word gloating to indicate my envy of having you now having the extra megapixels in your pocket. So don't take the comment too serious (Hence the dual smilies).

Wow thats a nice shot Barrie, got to be happy with that the way it turned out. Well done.

Wow Straight out of the camera.
I have to admit that I scratched my monitor to try and remove the birds though

Very apealing image. I love it.
