 Sunset at the 32nd Beach, Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis. Lots of people were out ice fishing, and there was a guy doing some kind of parasailing out there, but this was the best shot of the bunch. Plus it had the sign. There was a fair amount of post processing (too much, it shows)- shadows and highlights, hue/saturation, brightness contrast, to deal with the fact that I had to underexpose most of the image to keep the sunset from getting blown out. If anybody knows a good way to help mitigate this problem I would be curious to hear about it.

Nice image - really like the perspective - the horizon looks slightly tilted to me but its still good

First I look for the signal, then I find the boat, and then I focus on the figure in the middle. Only one world: superb

I really like this, with the sunset in the background, and the sea well out... Pleasing image, soft color tones.....

Interesting shot. Wish it were a little sharper. Maybe a little more contrast to get the silhouette of the people completely black. Thanks for sharing.

very pretty, I like the placement of the boat and the incredible sunset, there is a halo around the person though.
