Leith Sunset

The sky light is a little harsh. Do you use a graduated neutral density filter? Looks like maybe you used a circular polarizer. It's a lovely shot. I know shooting into sunsets can be difficult. The composition is nice. The color is soothing. What lens did you use? L frames are great even with the xsi. You might want to play with stacking filters and remember it is easier to lighten a photo than to darken one. If you don't want to invest in a lot of filters there is a neutral density filter now that rotates for preferred darkness.
