 Unfortunately the final sunset was not as good as the one in this picture (poorly placed clouds spoiled it). Even in this one I had to push the colors in the sky.
Processed mostly with Nik Filters Vivezia then some levels, hue/ saturation and some dodge and burn (lightened the figure). I honestly cannot remember where else I used dodge and burn at this time. Resize and Smart Sharpen.

Found one! Nice pastels and I like how the edge of the sand and the bright clouds make a sort of V pattern framing the water and low clouds.
