        I realized after posting that that my entry this week was taken on my old Samsung. I downloaded it onto the iPhone for editing in which I was able to both bring up the color in the sky and lighten up the foreground.

        This age of having photos stored in multiple locations gets a bit cumbersome.

          Increase the canvas size, then rotate some (4.5 degrees in this case), then crop.
          THen copy some pixles to fill in the corners.

          Here is original, then the rotated, then the final

            I know that "pulling out the stops" is a saying based on playing an organ using all its various sounds.
            But could be something of a pun relative to photography, f/stops, aperture settings.

              Imgur was much easier. As soon as you start to rotate, a grid is superimposed on the image, making leveling the horizon or any other reference point very easy. Depending on how much or little you rotate the image, the image automatically enlarges so as not to make empty corners, and no pixel-filling-in required. However, In the case of your image, Dave, that means it may have resulted in me trimming the rear tire and putting the front tire right at the bottom edge. This is a photo faux pas akin to cutting off fingers or toes in a portrait. Your method allowed you to keep both tires well off the very bottom.

                LOL...Thanks Dave! You make me laugh...

                The original meaning was my intent, but I like your take...f/stops...very valuable at dusk...LOL!!!

                  Stops vs. Stops. I took photography courses in the early 90s. The camera requirement was fully manual, and use of a separate light meter was required. I used a Pentax K1000.

                    Maybe a minute into dusk?
                    Maybe a minute left in sunset?
                    Hard to tell.
                    Either way it was the end of a great ride.

                      I still do a lot of manual shooting. I sometimes tend to use old, manual, Canon FD lenses on my modern Panasonic bodies. I think the pictures look lovely...

                          Soooooo. I kind of got carried away with photo editing... hopefully everyone is OK with it..... It's certainly not meant to be a critique of the pics, just my playing and learning what I can edit and how. Playing with Trevor's, Sandy's , and Vince's pictures made no appreciable difference.

                              OK, I finally have time for a last-minute entry.

                              This is along Great Sacandaga Lake in New York. I had stopped for some pictures of the bike, then noticed I had been photo-bombed.
