Pink and purple hues in the sky

The twilight wedge can produce very nice pink and purple hues in the sky. These colors can be very pleasing with a landscape foreground. Let's look at an image as an example:

The mood is great as created with the fog and mist rising from the water. How do we make the best of the colors in the sky? We do not want to play with global saturation as that makes images look unnatural. When I process a raw file such as this one I use the grad option in PhotoShop. In addition to playing with the exposure on the grad settings I also use it to bring out the colors that are already there.

          Give it a try; use the grad option to bring out more of what you already see. It adds much to the image.
