[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 356227, member: 23887"] I don't think editing can improve this picture. There is probably enough information in the dark parts of the image, but if you brighten the foreground, you will only see a busy, distracting hedge. Composition doesn't work very much, because there is nothing to draw the eye in the picture. Try finding a stronger composition, perhaps with more sky, possibly framed by trees and some distinct subject in the foreground. A reflection from water or some bright surface works well in sunsets. If in doubt, try following the rule I learned from [URL="http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/basics.htm"]Ken Rockwell[/URL]. "[I]If your image doesn't jump out as a thumbnail, you've made a boring image.[/I]" Try again and look for a striking thumbnail. [/QUOTE]
