Hope it's not too boring for you voters. Very minimal editing. Brightened the trees just a bit using shadow/highlights and then increased the reds and added contrast with levels.

One more thing. You just can't beat being out on one of northern Minnesota's thousands of small lakes for a sunrise or sunset!

Nice try. Unfortunately there is too much undetailed water and sky with a rather uninteresting center. I would have moved in closer (if possible).

I would have liked this better with the horizon line higher or lower in the frame rather than bisecting it. nice colors and very crisp though...

I don't know, it looks almost like broad daylight to me. That's some pretty calm water though...

great panoramic view and reflections. It seems too bright to remind me of evening. I would score this much higher for an outdoor or scenic shot.

the boat, the shore, the blues all work really well - but i am not convinced of the crop or the choice of wide angle

just a word to the wise, dont have a horizen line(in this case, the water line) ever right in the middle of a photo. it makes the viewer feel he or she is looking at two seperate photos joined together.
