Used manual setting, adjusted kelvin to 8900K, used dro on sunset color. Post processing included color balance adjustment. Used layer and applied hdr, then overlayed using transparency of 44%. Erased the sky and tree, leaving the foreground to retain highlights and detail. Dodged sky highlights and foreground further. Applied noise reduction using opaque 29, noise 22, sharpness 1. Then did color balance adjustment again to get more purple tone. Resized and sharpened again.

Like the basic composition and colors in the sky/water, but the tops of the stands of trees look unnatural (like a processing artifact). It's kind of distracting.
