Surprisingly little fiddling around with hue/sat. Some USM as well.
My last entry (birds) was a major scorer, this won't.
But I'll enter it anyhow, because I like it.

Post challenge:
OK. Never a border again that is any colour other than black or white.
Lesson learned :)

I liked the processing. Wish you had left the border off. It just killed the shot for me. The title could have been better too. But the border was just too hard for me.
A very pretty sunset...but for me...the red border if fighting with the red in the clouds for attention and seems to be winning...maybe a black border may have been more effective, then the red in those clouds would have been really amazing.
I'm sure you are going to get a ton of comments, but the border kills this beautiful photo. It is simply overpowering. As I look at the image, I keep wanting to look more and more at the photo itself, but the brightness of the red border keeps drawing my eyes away from the photo to the edge. Smaller darker border would have been better.
