I know, it's another sunset and not a very good one at that... Well, it's my first sunset and I tried to be different by making the water more important than the sky. I underexposed the shot on purpose then made a bright and a dark layer and blended them with the gradient tool. I changed the color balance to a bluer version and I also cloned out some pylones and cables. I think it fits the challenge OK but it's such a cliche that I guess (hope) 5.5

neat...you captured nice texture in the water. my eye is incredibly distracted by the difference in shades in the water...there seems to be a line dividing the dark and light water and i can't figure out why it's there. you've captured great colour in the water, however...really nice!
I really like the colors in this shot and the waves in the water. I like that instead of it being your typical sunset pic where 2/3 of the pic is sky, you have a lot of water. Gives it a nice different feel.
Wow, this is spectacular. I like the positioning of the sun and the colour of sky and water. The reeds distract a little down the bottom. The small waves give some interesting detail.
