Noise reduction. Sharpened the tidal pool selectively with a masked layer. Sharpened the image using the Adamus technique (resize to 1440px, sharpen twice, resize to 720px). Save for web.
Post challenge: Thanks for all the comments and votes everyone!
Some people asked about what this is. This is part of an artistic tidal pool, it does not seem to serve any functional purpose and looks to have been built purely for aesthetic reasons.

Congratulations on the ribbon Konrad. It's great to see an SA photographer doing so well on here, and even better to see you showing off our landscape so beautifully. Keep up the good work.
This is interesting. I think the shot could even be strengthened if you cropped off the topmost cluster of clouds (the pinkish ones). As it stands, that competes for the viewer's attention with the structure in the foreground, which in my opinion, is the more interesting part of the shot.
Gorgeous. 10 from me. Love the strong lines and excellent control of the light. Just enough to allow the posts to be exposed but still give the darkening feel of the sunset.
