San Diego Sunset

From my room on the 29th floor of the Bayfront Hilton hotel, San Diego, California (while attending an IT conference), looking west through a thermopane window - I saw the sun setting, and grabbed my longest lens (Canon EF 100-400mm L IS USM) and aimed dead center on the sun (to set the lighting), then focused on the palm trees on the hill, and shot away.  This is cropped about 50% and post processed a bit in Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 to deal with some of the flare/reflection that either the window created, or the fact that I was looking dead center into the sun - the original shot had a small reflection of the sun on top of the sun - floating in the sky, that needed to be removed.  Final product:
