I presume this is not what you intended, but it is kind of cool. I believe I
would have cropped off an inch at the bottom, getting rid of some of the
conflicting colours of the rocks.

Subject: PESO: GFM Sunset, or Why I Switched to RAW

Saturday night at GFM (the June edition) there was a
very nice sunset, and several of us repaired to the
top of the mountain to photograph it.  I was shooting
JPG, feeling intimidated my the perceived arcana of
RAW conversion.

It was a mistake.  The colors came out very strangely,
with different strangenesses depending on where I set
the white balance.  Detail wasn't very good, either. 
This shot was one of the best, and it suffered
horribly getting compressed to a web-suitable size:

Ist D, FA 16-45, JPG, ISO 400, 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/11.  JPG
converted to TIFF for editing, then "saved for Web" in
PE4.

The TIFF looks a lot better than the displayed JPG,
but even the original JPG was disappointing.  And that
is why I now shoot RAW.
