Challenge: Sunset or Sunrise (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) for Nikon

Date: Dec 6, 2008
Aperture: varied
ISO: 100
Shutter: 30 s
Galleries: Seascapes, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Dec 6, 2008

 HDR'ed and I changed the aperture instead of the shutter speed so the water would stay smooth. I wanted to over do the colors abit, but not too much as you can see from the outtake which is not HDR.
Thank you for the votes and comments everyone.

It's a very nice photo that to me, seems to concentrate more on the pier then the sunset/sunrise.

this must be a HDR...I like the blues and how they fade to yellow, but are they a little to blue...saturation pushed a little to much...but I love the colors anyway...

I love the way the bridge looks in this in the back. I think perhaps less water under the dock would make it pop more for me.

Someone should start a database of wonky jetty locations!
Lovely image.
When I see a picture with instant appeal I ask myself: Yes, but would I have it on my wall? - I'd have to give this more of a panoramic style crop first. 8

After 30 images seen in this challenge, this is the first with more than a red/yellow glow: a composition. Simple and very nice.
