Thanks! The DR of the scene was very broad. I tool a couple of pics at 
different exposures, thinking to combine them 
(HDR them), but in the end, as so often happens for me, I got what I wanted all 
from one. There is way more DR in a 
properly exposed (to the right) RAW image than most folks seem to realize.

I'll admit, though, that it took layers to adjust 3-4 parts differently from 
each other. And I eliminated a person 
cluttering up the composition.

Oops, I didn't mean to post that one quite yet. Standing around watching the 
vista change slowly, I decided to take some 
shots of all the other people there to watch and/or photograph the proceedings. 
I rather like the story I imagine for 
this one. Friends take pics of each other in front of a gorgeous sunset, only 
to discover that they are all just 
silhouettes.

I also like it because the lone photographer to the right of the group, with 
the lit gray hair, is a friend of ours.

In any case, 1154 should have been the first of four images showing the crowd 
scattered on the granite shoulder of the 
mountain. I couldn't decide which of two of the most serious looking/acting 
photographer, then realized that together 
they tell a story.

This and the next are then views of people taking in the view. :-)

I'll bet it's a zoo there at good sunsets during the high season.
