 Cloned out some distracting rocks. Highlight and shadow adjustment. Hues and color balance. Dodge and burn. added some reds and yellows in selective color.

Hope the photo won't suffer much because of its small size. Super wide angle shots of this sort are best viewed on a larger scale.

I love the busy-ness of this shot. It really separates this from all those yawner sunsets in every challenge. very energetic shot.

I find the sky to be a little over-blown, It overpowers the rest of the image.

This is really cool. It looks to be 'over edited' but I think it makes a great sci-fi piece.

nice view and color, but parts of sky are blown and you should have corrected the tilted horizon
