Hey Kevin,
This is pretty cool, a nice behind the water view. The sun is providing some nice color. As for the shadow recovery, you can do selective shadow recovery in ACR per color, that would be one option. But the best would to process it in Photoshop where layer masks make it so easy to isolate adjustments to specific areas.
So did the sun sit on the horizon for several hours? One thing I enjoyed in a trip to Alaska at the end of May one year was how the sunset literally lasted over an hour. It was a nice treat when I was used to sunsets being over often in just 2 or 3 minutes. To have it actually last for an hour allowed me the opportunity to get in multiple compositions in multiple locations of the same sunset. It seemed really cool.

Thanks Jim. I've been steadfast in my determination not to use PS but I guess I am coming around to the idea that in the end what I sometimes want to achieve can only be done in PS.
A quick check of my shots shows the sun was hanging there for at least 25 minutes, much longer than I've ever experienced before however nothing like an hour. I was able to get into 4 locations (front, rear and both sides from scrambling).

I certainly got wet - but not that wet ! Keeping the front element clear of spray was a challenge though - I don't know how many times I had to wipe it dry !
