I like big skies with big color. The RAW has more blue as well as the magenta; I decided to bring out the magenta since the distant mountains were bathed in the magenta at capture.
There is always that one moment when the sky pops both at sunrise and sunset.
If it is too saturated for you, I can understand that; Jackie and I like hot colors.
