This a shot from our summer holiday. It was taken on the car ferry from Ancona (Italy) to Split (Croatia), right after leaving Ancona.
I kinda know how to process this situation with DT, but I’m really curious, what you can do with this sunset. And hopefully I can learn something new on the way!
Resized post-export in XnView MP because I forgot to resize in ART before export and I didn’t want to wait again on the time the massive motion blur in the water takes on my little laptop.
Also I tried to enhance the clouds, but it brought out some ugly dirt (?) or dust artefacts. So overall I’m not too happy with this play.
Appreciate the time you all took to post your version of my boring picture. I had a look, how you all mastered the sun … and the common solution is sigmoid. And I think too, that this is the easiest way to get a nice and smooth sunset. I think it is a bit too smooth for my taste, but trying to bring out the sun ball, makes some ugly yellow bands visible. So I also took the sigmoid approach.
I’ve added an instance of the “RGB Color Balance” module to your edition.
I’ve also reinforced the light beams with the colorize module.
Here’s another proposal.
