Here is a photo I took of the sunset, When I first opened it in Camera Raw, it seemed that the shadows were so dark that there was no data being picked up. I wanted to fix this by tweaking the exposure, and I made the pinks pinker by changing the temperature and saturation.

I myself really like taking pictures like these. Trees silhouetted against an exaggerated sunset are probably what for me into photography. Strangely enough have a very similar view of the horizon out of my back window. I love the contrast and colors and that odd ethereal blue glow in the center of the sky.
