6.95 late afternoon Tuesday. Happy camper here! No matter how this ends up, I'm thrilled.
My first long exposure/after sunset shot. I was actually worried that I broke my camera while taking this! HA I thought it ended up too saturated but my hubby said enter it.
No filters. Levels, curves, selective color, brighten/contrast, saturation and Unsharp mask.
Thank you for the generous scores.
This is an outtake with tones I prefer and if I had processed it first probably would have gone with it.

really love the colours that you have captured. Its a shame those lights were on, maybe it would have been better if you shot it closer to the pier looking out to sea.
The colors are great, and I like the composition for the most part. I just wish that you had either cropped off more of the sky or placed the horizon in the center (one of the few times I think placing it in the center would work).
