Shot in JPG, used Graphic Converter for; levels, brightness,contrast,saturation. Resized in steps to 640 wide, sharpen, save for uplaoad. Light was afterglow plus a street light to the right, and on camera flash.
Thanks everyone, for my best scoring image so far. I feel that I will soon be learning about layering, and be able to fix things like the dark area near the top. All of the light was from below, as it was after dark, so the tops of the trees just had no light at all.

I gave this a 7 during voting..should have been higher (sorry!)but I was younger & foolish then, and narry a clue! you are so lucky to live near the ocean & FL has some of the best sunsets in the world!
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.
Looks a tad over-saturated, although that may well be a matter of taste... 6
Awesome photograph. That single star is very interesting. It would have been nice to see some sort of detail on the tops of the trees though. Right now, they just seem to fall off in to the darkness instead of having a defining edge on them.
