In my mind it's unfair to claim credit for the aesthetics of a sunset photo, because the colors and shades they paint in the sky are inherently pleasing to the eye. It's nearly impossible to take a bad picture of a good sunset. This particular one last fall in Fairbanks was so brilliantly orange and pink I couldn't help but snap away. It's been many weeks since the clouds have parted enough over St. Paul to allow for the pastels of evening light to break through, so while they might be a cheap means to a good composition, photos of sunsets at least remind me they existed once before and will inevitably continue to exist at some point in the future, so long as the sun continues to burn.
