The top and bottom borders were part of the hand rails on one of the piers, so the border was created as I took the shot. Auto contrast, adjusted curves, boosted saturation, in Colour Balance I then boosted red, blue and magenta on the highlights. Unsharp Mask, and NeatImage.

Stunning light and colors. Wonderful composition! I don't think people realize how difficult it really is to get a really quality sunset shot like this. Nice work. 9
I like the natural framing of this.. its like a letterbox movie, and the shot has a real cinematographic feel to it. Beautiful colours, crisp and clear photograph. Well done!! 10
Beautiful colors. I like this photo a lot! Only one thing that I would have changed is not having the horizon exactly in the middle. I would have either shown more sky or more water. Other than that, wonderful!
I don't usually like landscapes but I like the colors and composition of this one. I don't think the view through the handrails have enhanced your shot. But I like it as a whole.
Excellent shot, the colours are fantastic. Nicely picks out the lights, and the railings are a great way to frame it adding a sort of cinematic feel to the shot. Great job!
A beautiful image, worthy of being on a greetings card or one of the better postcards. I like the use of the rails to frame and the wonderful colours of the sky reflected in the water. I also like the feeling of distance - as though one is separated from the hustle and bustle and noise of the city itself.
Great colors here. Typically I don't like the horizon in the middle of the frame. It kinda works here though because of the symmetry created by the rails. Nice shot.
