[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A setting sun casts a golden hue over the skies of the Bay of Plenty.
This is the 2nd photo from a series of two shots.
While the first one was perfectly exposed, it's lacking a human element to it and I was hoping that a runner will appear around the corner or somebody sitting on the bench and I got the latter.
The original photograph was underexposed by half a stop so I duplicated the background layer in PS, applied a Screen blending mode and an opacity of 80% to achieve the golden sky I got from the first shot.

wow, this is a great view, when i see this pic, iw wish i could sit there on that bench!
the sky is great,i like the island in the back, creates dept.
the human ads some scale.the front rock being so dark makes the pic looks mysterius.
well done!!
