Another Cliche Sunset

Eagle Lake, Calgary, Alberta

I took this at Eagle Lake near Calgary, Alberta.
My trusty Fuji Finepix F601Z captured the dusk scene as an impressive sunset - or so I thought.
What I believed was one of the very best pictures I'd ever taken has generally been unpopular with PBasers.
But i'm not giving up! - I've sent this one back to Photoshop and played with the 'Levels' mid-range slide to produce this dramatic but completely inauthentic sunset.
I still think the fortuitous composition of fisherman on the jetty and in the boat make a good picture but accept that it's just another cliche sunset!

I think it is a lovely photo. The fiqures and warm light make it special for me.

This is absolutely fantastic. I love the dream-like effect. The sunset colours are so brilliant.
