From a Chadron hilltop, I had a great view of clouds lit by the setting sun. I like this kind of busy, puffy clouds, especially the row along the bottom of the scene. This is an HDR composite, three exposures to cover most of the brightness range. The sun is still overexposed, but it feels appropriate for the sun.
