 Yet another sunset over Mediterranean coast.HDR from 10 different exposed captures.Slightly boosted the contrast of the resulted HDR image,adjusted brightness, leveled the horizon,slightly cropped,re-sized,sharpened , saved for web.
For this HDR Challenge , I went almost every day out to take some shots at sunset on different places on the sea shore.This is the best result (IMO)of about 5000 (five thousands) shots made in the last 7 days.I have used a polarized filter and a graduated ND filter on the top of Raynox 0.66 wide lens.

Grand scene. Outstanding crepuscular rays. However, mostly underexposed and oversaturated. Acute angle to the sun very difficult to work with.

This could win a ribbon if it was just sharp. If it was sharp you probably would've gotten an 8 from me. There also isn't much of a subject, but the colors and features of the landscape compensate. 6/10

Great, smooth reflections and a good, but not over the top use of the techniques.
