Thanks for the comments. Must admit I used a sunset filter for this one, I had it in the camera bag thought I'd give it a go, quite like the effect. The sunset Whoopers shot I uploaded in Dec was without filter.

Hi black,

The sunset filter really adds something to the picture. A very pleasing result. Never used one myself but i often use a polarising filter for outdoor shots which gives quite good results.
