Hey Jason,

That looks like it would be a great sunset. The whole image though seems too dark, I would brighten it up more. Also the ground/water layer is a good stop too dark. Use a layer mask and brighten that up some more to make this image more attractive.

Heh...I actually wanted to go darker for this shot...natively shot it was brighter! (Go figure...)

My logic for darkening it was because it was actually quite windy.

With the wind going I tried a few longer exposure shots to blur the water but the masts of the boats started blurring, so I had to shoot faster to avoid that. As a result, I had a lot of choppy water that in my opinion, detracted from the scene. To compensate, I darkened it

Thanks for the input though...

To your request, here's one processed slightly differently:

Hey Jason,

The brighter version is much better. You still could go for more shadow detail in the boats and dock if you wanted, but this edit is quite the inprovement.

I can totally understand about the boats moving, especially the masts. Even if it wasn't windy, the boats will rock a bit.

The second version is much better for me too. Don't forget to clone out that prominent dust spot on the upper right.
