It's good Ed is protective of you but my question was genuine as I didn't think much processing was done at the raw stage. I've only done a few raw shots & converted them to jpegs & did the processing in Photoshop. I thought you maybe did more to the raw file that you could tell us about. I'm like you Shu I just do wotever I think the shot needs & have no workflow as such.
Say Gday to Ed:-)

Lots of adjustments in both camera raw and layers, but Ed just asked if you are "twisting my tweeker?" He thinks you're being facetious. I can never keep tract of my work flow so it's hard for me to say exactly what helped me arrive at the view I saw with my eye. (A true sign of an amateur.) LOL shu

Very nice Shu, can you tell us how camera raw helped you make this look this way?

Thank you for the nice compliments!! It was very beautiful and still after everyone left the beach and I did my best to portray it close to what my eye saw, with the help of "camera raw," of course. shu

Just like everyone else I really like the light in this one Shu- very nice.

A beauty with the night lighting.

Very intriguing image with almost theatrical lighting effects. Must be more than one source. Shadows across the beach indicate a late setting sun or beach illumination from the left. The chair seems to be catching two different light sources - orange inside the lower legs and cooler lighting on the right. Then there's the water reflection, perhaps the moon? Nice colors in the bulkhead and sand. -tv
