Don't pull it, it's too nice! Just go back to the RAW file and have another go. If you use rotate to get the horizon exactly right first, then you'll be able to apply your effects exactly. I suspect that this needs less processing than you think, but that when you shrink to this size for web display, you need sharpening and slight contrast enhancement. Give it a go! Tim

Well Tim, I'm coming to believe that I might have to pull this image....lol. The truth is that I only processed the bottom half using the rectangular tool to isolate it from the sky which needed no processing or, acutally maybe a toning down. However, when Sharon asked me to increase contract, I did apply to the entire picture a +16 of contrast. Thanks for the comment. Best Wishes, Traveller

Nice shot and nice idea but you have a * so I have to say that it's over processed. I know the symptoms, I do it all the time myself. The reflections, colours and dynamic range of the sea don't match those of the sky and sometimes that's a good thing if one is trying to be surreal, but my guess here is that you're going for boosted reality and it's not quite working.

Yes, I've noticed that also. I probably poscessed the image late at night in a darkish room, but it does show in the daylight. I'll try again. Best Wishes, Traveller

Fantastic sunset, Traveller! The bottom half of the image seems kind of washed out, could you boost the contrast a bit? ~Sharon
