From a newbie to the forum: Nice job. Your knowledge of how to vary the ISO, f/stop and shutter speed, to narrow in on the final shot, produced a great result. (Agree – the last shot is the best although the one with the path shows potential. Too bad you didn’t have a ladder to improve the down-angle and capture a little more of the road that almost leads to the sun.) From your text and pictures, it is obvious that you “worked” your way to the solution by trying and discarding previous shots/settings. The colors really pop.
