Almost straight RAW conversion. A little healing brush on some small pieces of trash in the lower right foreground bush, slight dodge on the foreground bench to pop it up a hair.

Nice one bear, don't be afraid to lean a bit more toward more editing. I'd really like to see more of the foreground brought out.
If I were to print this image that's what I'd do for sure, but it was shot for a challenge, the theme of the image is "darkness & light", and I wanted a large, dark mass in the bottom and right of the image, which just a ghost of detail.
Pretty shot and great color capture of the sky and reflections. For me, I would have like to have seen the point of view either higher or lower so that the horizon wasn't dead center.
Excellent composition & dramatic colors. There is too much Gaussian blur (or equivenent) in my IMHO. It is strong enough image to stand on its own without special effects. Great work otherwise.
bear? i see you're having fun with your "ultra wide angle" :) the colors here are just absolutely marvelous. it's a very calming photograph and nicely captured :) 9
I read in one of the threads how someone felt like they recognized a bear_music photo. this is probably it, and whether or not my guess is right, this does resemble the Northeast coast of America and the gentle sunsets/sunrises that fall there.
Im going to guess, on the basis of the border and processing that this is one of Bear's. Whoever is behind it, it's a really pretty shot, but a) this is the 100th time I've seen this title (not really your fault) and B) I'm not 100% convinced the title really fits properly - their isn't really enough contrast between the dark and light areas to justify the title. Oh well... 7.
hmmmm, i want to say this is by robt (bear_music) for some reason. (sorry if its not)
well captured natural environment with beautiful natural lighting.
