Hey all, I'm a hobby photographer, took this one a couple days ago and can't seem to structure my own opinion about this snap.

I'm trying to convey the feeling of experiencing a sunset, but I don't think sunset is very well expressed in this picture. I tried to boost the colors a little bit to help, would love some feedback on best practice for that.

Also not sure if I've chosen the best crop, but that's somewhat secondary for me. Any and all feedback is welcome, I'm new to this whole Lemmy thing, here's hoping it goes well!

If you're going for people experiencing a sunset looks like you nailed it. Love the deep colors. Not a big sunset at the beach and cocktail in your hand type of feeling, but it's a sunset scene and it's almost over and nearly time to leave and you can see these folks soaking up every last bit. Great vibe here. The people make an arch to compliment the architecture. I like how the people are looking in all different directions. It opens the picture up. Well done.

Here's one of my photos you've reminded me of. Originally I wished for a bit "stronger" sunset here, but now I've come to like the peaceful soft colors.

Appreciate the feedback :)

I really enjoy that picture, the soft colors make it very easy for my eye to travel around the photo.
