Hue/Sat, shadow balancing, levels, selective color to tone brightest highlights, crop, USM, border
These colors are actually pretty close to what the eye saw, believe it or not. I expect to get dinged for oversaturation, but this was a really stunning scene.

Beautiful as always Robert. I find this photo very interesting in that the flare from the sun is replicated almost exactly in the reflection. I can't say that I've ever seen this (or noticed it) before in a photo. Great use of color. Nice work.
2 different pools of water with 2 different reflections. The sun reflecting off the first pool is very good. The wide angle of the shot of the clouds almost draws me into the scene. Very good for a plain ole "sunset" ! 8
Very pretty. The richs tones of blue and yellow with hints or orange are stunning. I like the flare created by the sun in the reflection. Beautiful panorama!!!
There are a lot of sunset shots in this challenge, but this one is the best IMO. I love the clean, crispness of the shot. The reflection is great, but what really makes it for me is the slight twinkle of the sun just as it's going done - great timing! <8>
