This was taken minutes after wickee_one took her picture for Deja Vu II. I added some contrast to the sky but the colors here are nowhere near what nature provided. The sky was grayish blue with splashes of crimson.

hey ken .. this is awesome .. a beautiful scene and an excellent process ... i bet it was a hard choice deciding between this one and that absolutely gorgeous blue, soft, delicate photograph you put in slice of life day 4 .. :)
I love your photos of your ocean piers!! This one is stunning! Congratulations on such recognition for an outstanding photo in such a competitive challenge!
Cool composition. A shot after my own heart. The sea and sunset, color and atmosphere look very familiar to me. The shot looks perfectly processed. So natural looking and appealing.
Beautiful shot, love the feel to it and the colors are just incredible. Only suggestion would have been to set the Ap up a bit to make a slow shutter speed to make the waters look more silky. Other than that, love the composition and pretty much everything else. Nice work.
I've seen pics of this lighthouse before on this site and it cetainly makes for beautiful photos. What a great perspective along the wall, a gorgeous sky and perfect time of day to take this.
