Taken on a local beach at sunset, after much frustration at not being able to take ANY pictures that I like since joining DPC! Did the usual saturation, levels, then found the more distant sea and clouds too distractingly bumpy, so smoothed them out.

5 - Good potential. Like your colors and the LE effect/resulting flow and patterns/movement, but your horizon is crooked. Overall balance seems off as well - as nice as the colors are in the sky and distance, perhaps cropping this to the horizon/eliminating the sky, would have produced a stronger image, albeit a different one.. but your call, of course.
Put a camera on a tripod. Wait for Sunset/Sunrise. Take a few dozen test shots. Hit "Make it more Pink" button on the insta-matic. Stir. Get a 6+ score.
