HDR from 4 exposures, Photomatix Pro, CS3, Topaz Detail (for detail and smoothing both), Topaz DeNoise, hue/sat, flipped horizontal after saving, makes a huge difference. Cloned a utility pole lower right.

I loved this one so much. It just did something to me with the setting sun creating the orange lines on the eaves of the house to the right. With the house there, it was so much more than just a seascape. It gave it an emotion that just a beautiful scene would not. I think it should have been top 5 for sure.
Nice cloud formations you've found, and the sunset itself isn't too bad either :) I enjoy how the jet contrail goes literally "off into the sunset," as well.
I enjoy the movement of colour here. From the bright blown-out sun to the near darkness at the edge contrasted against the viewer side shadows. The clouds and jet-stream add a nice element of drama to the image.
