Sunset on a Partially Cloudy Day by taffy

Sunset on a Partially Cloudy Day

Taken yesterday and processed today using Topaz and Color Efex Pro, but I can't remember in what order. It's a contrast to what it looked like 24 hours later as the temperatures began to warm (still well below freezing) and Chicago turned into a shrouded city - http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2014-01-09
Thank you all for your wonderfully kind comments on my attempts to create noir shots and b&w. And for commenting on my hockey collage. I'm in the middle of too many deadlines and am barely able to post. Will be sporadic and behind for about a week and then will catch up on viewing and commenting. To my new followers, I really apologize, as I've always tried to stay caught up on commenting when someone comments on one of my shots.
That swirling golden sky is gorgeous! Fav!
