 I took this earlier this month while I was on a cruise ship somewhere between Quebec City and Montreal, QC, Canada. The sun was setting, and the sunset colours in the sky and on the water combined with the scene on shore with the brilliant autumn colours made the moment really magical.

this is a great shot that is well taken. But it looks so over enhanced it has lost its natural feel, sorry if it was intended

Nice soft tones in the sunset...I like that it's not oversaturated wtih color. But I feel that perhaps a different proportion of water to land to sky might work a little better for my tastes.

Beautiful colors and composition, but the focus is off enough to really just steal from a spectacular image.
