[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken at Runaway Bay Breezes Superclub in Jamaica. The sky was like this every night for a week. I certainly didn't want to come home. It's a very mellow place.
When people take photos of sunsets, many of them leave as soon as the sun goes below the horizon. Often, if you just wait a short while, the sun will reflect up into the clouds as it did here.

PP
Noise ninja twice.
Curves to lighten as the original was actually quite dark.
A bit of dodging and burning.
Believe it or not, I actually used the sponge tool to desaturate the sky a bit because it looked too fake.

Wow. You would think there was a fire up there. Great shot.

Hi Joe,
Having been in the the Caribbean a few times, I really enjoy these shots. I would believe the colors, and would like to see it before the PP. Superb composition. A great range of colors and tones in the post sunset sky. Great deph and clarity.
