Nothing has been altered. This is exactly as the scene looked at 05:45 one morning as I started the engine of the schoolbus I drive for work. Ok. I'll admit it... I love driving schoolbusses even though it's in no way lucrative.
The important thing is the colors of the early Dawn are shining through. Sure, the photo would have been better in landscape, would have been better not shot through a grubby bus windshield, would have been better shot with a better camera but it's there and it looks good.
