 Minimal post processing on this image. The skies were pink and I adjusted the levels and curves to bring them out. Ran through NI and cropped and saved for web.

Too bad about the water challenge. I think that this would have beat kiwiness. Oh well...

Nice job Rikki! I SO wish the stars could have been captured. I love night starry shots, but the colors are still great! I LOVE long exposure shots. This one almost looks neat imaged, and its beautiful!

That is one of the most dynamic skies I've seen without the northern lights being part of it! Of course I've come to expect no less from the likes of you!

The colors in the sky and the stillness of the lake are stunning. I think the thing that really makes this photo is the leading line of the sidewalk stones.
