Nicely done.. what a beautiful image. Much depth and great variation in color and textures.

the sky is amazing isn't it? a perpetual subject..

edited to add.. you know Brad, what I find most appealing about many of your images is that for the most past, you present the "real" of what you captured.. you get the concept of the "equivalent" as put forward by Alfred Stieglitz. The HDR craze makes me nuts.. if it's not good enough as nature presents it, what's the point? I know there's some "clean up" which must be done in the digital world to make an image its best. Purist is an artform. but I suspect you already know this.

Impressively dramatic and flamboyant.

Not a fan of the processing, went way overboard for my taste, I do love the scene captured but feel like the boat gets lost in the saturation. I would love to see this one done more realistically.

Very boldly edited! A bit over the top for my taste, but it does present a strong visual.

Too much and then came the border.

Sorry but in my opinion you went way overboard with the processing of this photo, way too much contrast (and coming from me, who really likes strong contrast, that's saying a lot), I'd almost say that for me, you pretty much ruined a good sunset photo. 3
