The colors are pretty accurate (at least insofar as I can tell)
because it was shot in those glorious few minutes before the sun
dipped below the horizon. You can see this by looking at the shadows
on the ground.  I increased the brilliance and saturation a small bit
in Lightroom but not at all so as to make it unrecognizable from the
original scene.

The overall vignetting and left side darkening are mainly due to using
some developing preset adjustments during post processing in
Lightroom.  Its the sort of thing I would have done in the darkroom to
add emphasis to the scene and that I often do in LR.  I hope my hand
was not too heavy here but I guess that is a matter of personal taste.
The camera is an M8 (newly upgraded shutter) with a new m-mount 15mm
Voigtlander attached.

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.
