Taken at dawn at Sandgate Pier on a freezing cold June morning.
Post processing includes curves, contrast, cloning out a couple of distracting lights on the horizon and sharpening. Neat Image used to remove a little noise.

I wonder about filters. I love your star effect on the lights. I also get a similair effect, but I get that six star effect that no one seems to have. I am easily revealed in challenges because of this. Good night shot here!
Thanks for everyones comments. For those who wanted to know about the star pattern in the lights - pure fluke. I had a polariser filter on in readiness for the sunrise and I can only assume that it was a result from that. Cheers
I'd love to know how to get that star effect on the lights. Great image. I love the rich colors and all the patterns -- the fence, the shadows, the lights. Really lovely.
Simple, yet elegant. the one distracting thing (very minor) is the dark line in the sky near the left edge. a cloud perhaps? but that's REALLY nitpicky. love the shot overall.
through your star filter away. You've ruined what would have been a fantastic shot. Would have cropped it more on the left too so you don't see the lights finish
