Shot at about 175mm. Tone mapped (minimally) from a single RAW exposure, exported to PS7
Relatively little PP from that point on: a slight tweak in Hue/Sat, a hint of gradient from the top, an application of High Pass filtration to crisp it up.

I like this and I gave you an 8 but I can't explain why. Maybe its the smooth gradation/transition of colors in the sky, the fact that its not too overly saturated, and that it is simple. It all works well for me.
Very elegant use of empty space, with strong but not overwhelming colors. Shame about the blown moon, but I belive not blowing it is not possible without HDR. The orange highlights making curves in the water make the shot special.
Amazing photo with some incredible color. I love all the negative space, but this is definitely one where you have to take it in a little at a time. The distance between moon and shore make it very difficult to view as a whole. Great job!
