Sunset in the City — power lines, cars, and a beautiful pink sunset [1]

A sunset near the Wal-Mart in South Daytona, Florida. I couldn’t move away to exclude the distractions, so I made them part of the scene to represent urban life. The colors and cloud dark clouds at the top drew my eye, as did the cars at the bottom. I made the tail light of a car the dot for the i in City, and the headlight the period for the X. in Richard X. Thripp. Creatively incorporating the title into the piece is nice sometimes.

Canon PowerShot A620 [2], 1/160, F3.5, 14.93mm, ISO100, 2007-01-19T18:05:27-05, 2007-01-19_23h05m27b

Source image [3]. I added a bunch of contrast, shifted the colors from yellow to pink, and brightened the lights of the cars.
