taken about an hour after sunset, with the moon behind the clouds. the moving clouds gave a fantastic effect. there is only a touch of added saturation. the moonlight does most of the work.
PP - rotate, crop, Noise Ninja. shadows/highlights. cloned out a few hot pixels and dust spots. curves layer. hue/sat layer. resize, USM. another dose of Noise Ninja (I had to sacrifice some detail in the foreground for smoothness in the sky since I couldn't selectively edit). added border, save for web.
post-voting - I just noticed I spelled my title wrong! what was I thinking?

The motion in the clouds is really fun. But it leads my eye to the horizon, which looks tilted to me. I always have a hard time with shots that are only slightly tilted because I can't tell if it's intentional and it makes me cock my head when I look at it.
JD? Nice detail on the foregournd rocks and a fantastic sky to pull it together. On second look I don't think it is Jdannels... The spot of lighthouse doesn't look west coast to me. Good luck.
very nice sky, it looks like a lighthouse or something on the far left, that may have added some more interest if it was more involved in the composition.
