Beautiful shot. Did you try to open up the foreground in Post? (brings out details in shadows of the foreground).

Thank you. Yes I did work on the shadows. Original was shot in raw and had good details.

I think the image is excellent but it could still be improved by opening the shadows more. I took your image into Adobe Lightroom 2022 and used the new masking tool. I selected the foreground using a gradient mask and increased the shadows, exposure, and texture. I then took the sky into masking and increased the exposure, shadow in clouds, and slightly to warmer color. Here they are side by side for comparison. Everyone really needs to learn this masking technique if you are going to shoot High Dynamic Range images, where the sky over powers the foreground in sunsets and sunrises. The Adobe masking tool engine is the same in both Adobe Photoshop 2022 and Lightroom 2022.
