During the actual sunset, there were dozens of people watching and taking photographs. By the time I took this, about 30 minutes after sunset, there was no one left. It was easily my favorite image.

As is so often the case, some of the best pictures are taken well after the sun has actually set. Great capture. Love the colours.

Love the colors, and the lack of people in the frame is a nice benefit.

Hey Jason,

That is some cool layers and colors in this. My only suggestion would be to get the horizon off from the center on this. I think you could go either way, but I think I would crop some off the top to do that.

I like the simplicity and depth of the photo. The complementary colors work well too. I shoot at least 4 or 5 days a week in various tourist locations around the Smokies and it's always the same story as you have told. If you get up early or stay late you often have the place to yourself.

I played around with the crop like Jim suggested and came out with the below image. I like the end result more than the original. Thanks for the suggestion again!

Definitely like the crop better Jason. This version has a much greater sense of depth to it.

Great capture!

Beautiful image Jason. It is surprising how many photographers leave early and miss the best show

Really like the contrast in colors and all of the layers of the hills. The crop is definitely better.

In fact the best colors, it is said, occurs about 30 minutes after sunset. So you were patient enough to stay back. I would like to see a little more tone separation of those ranges of mountains.
