Nice work. I normally shy away from photos that are heavily processed, but this one works for me; it has a nice feel to it. I wonder what the "original" looked like and if it also isn't lovely in it's own right . . .

@GJC: Hey GJC, it was minimally processed, isn't that awesome, I only added a bit of shadows no to hurt anyone's eyes and threw most of it in a blur, because it is that 'brilliant', the original was hardly changed, but thanks for the great compliment lol
See The Light from Newcastle, United States
What a great sunset not the usual. I really like the softness.
