i've shot this scean many times before and i knew right where i had to go in order to grab a beautiful shot that could be vurtualy unaltured and produce such and image. (refuring to basic editing).
here's all i did-
in camera raw- made minor adj. to the contrast shadows and exposure. values of the image.
-in PS-
color adj. via slective color
curves
shadow/highlight
USM
resized to dpc specks
bordered by enlarging the canvis 3 times-
black/pinkish'orange/black
as i have just had 1 of the best days of shooting and a great time with good friend, i really don't care where this places it was fun to take and its was a God given day.
thanks for the comments views and votes.

WOW, this is great. I did not know you can get this view from Navy Pier. This is fantastic, congrates for you PB till now. Shutter speed is 1/200 and you pull this one, I am amazed.
Wow... I think I've shot the same lighthouse before...
Navy Pier????
yep right off the right side due east, lots of ppl. have its just such a shot place i go back time and time again for reshoots, but i also record my dates and sunset times so i know when the best light is and what mounth yealds the best shot....cause i'm a freek...lol
Just a touch right in the frame to put your light right at the intersection point would make this a stronger composition. This looks like a long exposure shot at f/22 or close, judging by the dust spots I'm seeing above the lighthouse. I feel your pain.
7 - Nice colors. Criticism; not much, maybe a little more clarity, even just in the sea. Technically, while no 'expert', seems you are pretty spot on with at least two rules. Not sure on the frame, nice at the top, but the bottom detracts a little in my opinion against the blue.
Lovely sea scape. The red of the lighthouse building makes the shot for me. Great color contrast works, even without it being too bright. Nicely composed. Very pretty indeed.
Wow, dreamy! The sky looks unreal! Great use of thirds here with the horizon at the third lower horizontal thirds line and the lighthouse at the left thirds line. Color really accentuates the lines well. Would have like to see something in the sky (bird, cloud, sun, etc.) to let me know it was on our planet.
