Sunset at Layan beach, Phuket

1. on Panasonic FT1 and it's on 28mm auto setting.
2. on Canon 550D with 70-200mm at 70mm (110mm on 1.6 crop), 1/250 shutter F6.5 ISO 100.
Maybe it's not fair to compare these 2 photos but just wanna show how nice of the sunset. Whatever cameras you would take some nice photos as long as you don't hold it for too long as it would burn your camera's sensor. I should have penned the camera a bit upward to the sky to avoid a large part of dark area in the bottom. :)

It's nice. You can always crop it off. But I do think actually the foreground proportion is good.

Another thing you can try if you shot RAW is to increase the black and makes the foreground become a complete silhouette so there won't be details in the shadow area to distract the eyes. If you retake the photo again, try knock down the exposure compensation to -1 and -2. That will make the foreground black and help not over exposed the sun.

Thanks for the tips. Hehe... don't know why I am quite environmental on digital storage that I am still using the small size of all photo shooting. Strange. Let me try that for a few photos 2 weeks later. :)

Actually in the Panasonic FT's camera it has the function for sunset scene, and the exposure will be reduced. Just I was in much hurry to take those photos and not even had much time to fix it afterwards. Will post that later.
