 Too vivid for this pastel challenge, but my wife liked it (as rare as spotting a comet over lunch) so that's all that matters.

Colors were there but not as harsh. Just brought out with a multiply layer, curves, and an overlay layer.

Thanks for the comments.

Hmm. Well, the comment he left you (dfz) is a lot more than the ' he left someone else. And that was marked helpful!

Were it I the shot might have been square cropped hanging to the right. I don't know that I think the woman to the right adds much to the image, but I consider the horizon, steam and water turbulence the focal points of this image so that's why I said that.
Really nice colours though. Nice and simple.

LOVE the moving water... fantastic effect of sky color contrasted with water. Like the position of the model. Only minor flaw is composition cut in half with the horizon line. Give me a third water and 2/3rds sky or visa versa and it would be a 10 for me.
