Definitely, not the typical sunset you expect to see from the Eiffel Tower but still from this city suburbs, this is what I visualized it to be. It was unarguably rewarding to have a clear sky at sunset and thankfully, I had my camera pointed for the exact moment when the glowing globe of the Sun cooled down and aligned perfectly in conjunction with the mobile tower and the apartment buildings in the distance.
Look closely enough and you might even realise that this preset resembles the city sunset emoji we often see in today's smartphones and by the looks of it as evident from its thumbnail, it even appears to be a good candidate for a postcard submission. Fellow viewers, I want to inform you all that the Sun's disc is somewhat oval shaped and not a sphere or a circle as it normally appears to be. It's best seen after the moment of sunrise or just before sunset.

Camera Manufacturer: Canon
Camera type: Point and Shoot Camera
Model: SX430 IS Digital Camera

Image type: Single Exposure
Settings:- ISO: 400, Aperture: F5.6, Exposure time: 1/ 160 seconds, Scene Brightness: +_0,

Workflow brief: The image was saturated, sharpened and contrast was added to it. Shadows and
Highlights were corrected, cropped and exposed further. As much as feasable, the
sunset moment was recreated to appeal to the eyes as it did in reality :)
