Heron Lake Sunset

today's blip is my latest painting and my attempt at getting a good photo of my work that accurately represents the colors.  as I am still a total newbie, this is tough so my photo has the saturation values dialed back to get the color balanced.  any tips or pointers towards tutorials are welcome!

the painting is of a sunset at Heron Lake in New Mexico and in "real life" the sky was glowing amber and gold below the ultramarine sky - so vivid!
