 My favorite photo from a weekend with the family at a cottage. After a very cruddy day (weather-wise), the clouds opened up just long enough for there to be a spectacular sunset. The colors in the sky, clouds, and water were simply astounding.

Post processing done all in RAW. Decreased brightness slightly, increased overall contrast and more local contrast (via shadows/highlights), increased color saturation, increased sharpness, and slight adjustment to curves.

Not sure if the DPC voters will like it as much as I do, mainly due to the lesser impact the 770x513 photo has compared to the full size.

My outtake for this month:
