Not very colorful. I would have taken at least six shots, each with different speeds and f stops. You will be amazed at the differences.

That is a hard one. I would try to get rid of the power lines. I did try that but ran into problems with my healing brush leaving some lines. I did try to limit the shadows in CS5 and was able to lighten the trees. I then tried some minor adjustments in levels. The combination got the trees to show a bit.
If you can add filters on your camera a Cokin graduated neutral density filter would be a big help on sunsets. It filters the top half of the image thus cutting down on the blow out of the sun. If the sun is real bright I have even used two of the filters.

I took this with my Sony HX5 which is not a DSLR. My f-stops ar limited and I can not add filters. However, it is still very good camera for carrying all the time.
I agree about the GND and would used it if I was using my DSLR.
Thank you for commenting.
