Used the widest end of my 18-70 at dusk
No cropping just cloned out an ugly twig and bumped up saturation a little, but the sky was amazing without any help. that's it...

Lovely shot, I like the colors, and the mood it creates; but mostly I like the fact that you acheived interesting reflections and textures in the water despite the surface not being perfectly smooth.
Beautiful...simply beautiful. Lots of depth and coolness to this. and the processing work on the sky is stunning. I would like to see a lil more work done on the joining like tween the sky and ground...it kinda pops out at me as this is something I personally struggle with in dynamically light scenes like this and the post processing they require. Still though...a 9 from me. =)
Oh my!! With all of the greens and blues of so many shots, this is definitely one of my favorites. I don't know how you achieved it. Just stunning. The swirl of the water with the swirling sky - MAN! I want this hanging on my wall. The clarity of the reflection is stellar. Great composition - that little "island" really helps break it up. Beautiful.
