The time of day you make a photo can make all the difference. For this exercise you need to know the time of sunset, which tonight was at 8:13 pm.
This first photo was taken at 8:00 pm. Just 13 minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon.

Now right at sunset 8:13 pm isn't the best photo either, but notice how the sky is changing. But the sky is still too bright.

Now just waiting until 8:24 pm or 11 minutes after sunset the sky is getting dark enough that now the lights are starting to balance with the rest of the scene.

Now while the color here is excellent at 8:27 pm we now no longer have the sun lighting up the clouds and lose the pastel colors in the sky.
I like both of the photos for different reasons. Which one do you like best.
