Still experimenting with the camera settings... Liking the results. It's amazing how little processing this photo took to achieve these colors -- just very light saturation, darkening, and contrast.

Thank you all, Kevin, Gale, and Steve! I'm debating whether to put up more shots of the same sunset, because there were so many amazing ones; some show a lot more purple than this one.

Thank you, Wanda! I always knew the camera is capable of more than I have asked of it, but I confess ignorance about how best to use it. Friends are helping me with that.
