You see the colors right?Editing
I used a technique called "Orton". I made a copy layer and applied Gaussian blur to the copy and increased the exposure to a 'screen' level then set the opacity to about 30% and flattened the image. This technique makes colors look richer and the image looks a bit more like a fantasy. Too much Orton looks terrible to me so I set it to about 30% opacity to avoid the weird dark shadows around dark objects.In my camera bag

Be there when the sun goes down and don't pack away your tripod like I did that day.
