You asked for it! This was taken off the bow deck of our 'ship' (The Letty) while cruising from island to island. Taken with a Panasonic GX8 and an Olympus 7-14mm lens at 7mm. The raw file was converted to TIFF in DXO Optics Pro 11, and to JPEG in Lightroom. No adjustments of exposure or colour were made. This is the way it was. I have cropped a bit off the bottom to eliminate the prow of the ship.

I'm forever seeing shots of sunsets that were intended to blow my socks off. The only ones I'm impressed by are the ones that manage to keep a semblance of reality and believability. The above sunset looks OK to me - good, even - but the fact remains that sensors have limitations, and if it were mine I'd probably want to tweak the yellows to make them less solid. The OP's request in the original post was for suggestions as to how to normalise the shot. She wouldn't have done that if it looked OK to her eye, and at the end of the day that's what matters most - does it look OK to the shooter's eye.

Wow! I love it. That's a beauty, Don. I've often heard that DXO does a good job of converting raw files, but never tried it. Maybe I should.

Made a selection of the foreground scene minus the sky. Used a photo filter to eliminate the colored hue.
On upload, I see there has been a change in the sky color which I have no explanation for, but believe the filter worked on the blues in the photo instead of just the selection. Back to the drawing board on a remedy for this.
The sky color changed on the download of your photo. No explanation for this, but if someone has an answer I would like to hear it.

I have no explanation either but have seen many anomalies that I can't explain in my adventures in processing. You did pull some of the purple out of the water! Thanks for taking a run at it!

I agree with those who say don't change. This is a truly remarkable phenomenon of nature and one I think cannot be improved on. I have some photos that have been untouched but the colours are so saturated because the air was so clear that people think they are photoshopped! When this happens naturally, why do we want to dial it back. When it doesn't happen naturally, we try to dial it up to this. Weird concept.
Perhaps we are so accustomed to trying to make our photos look "natural" that we are always going to react to something that looks a little off even if it is a true representation of what we saw.
Thanks for coming by and sharing!

RGB was set in photoshop, changed it to SRGB IEC61966-2.1 and it gave me the blue sky, but retained reddish clouds.

I like many things bout this image and the green doesn't bother me, maybe I have been looking at 500 Pix too much?
