Revised Aug. 12, 11:09 pm. I don't normally do this... but this photo has been revised from what I originally uploaded. I liked it at first, but it needed more tweaks. So I have tweaked and it's not quite as dark as it was in its original incarnation.
I went out in the boat last night right around sunset and managed to take a few pictures while navigating around St. Göran's Island. The sunset was nice, but not spectacular. I tried to pump it up a bit by playing with the processing on this picture and while I was getting nicer, warmer tones, it just wasn't working with the boathouses. So I decided to take it a different direction, hence this darker, slightly more ominous version.

It works for me. there is enough detail in the boathouses and the sky just sings- its fantastic. I'm so glad you didn't do an HDR! rhys @ August 13, 2009
Great sky! Nice composition. ysk @ August 13, 2009
Lovely Sweden.. I like your processing, comes out well. oldshutterhand @ August 13, 2009
Such a contrast between the calm water and a sky that has a bit of everything going. JoeB. @ August 14, 2009
This is an instant favourite. Lovely! The composition and lighting are spot on. Lorissa @ August 16, 2009
I like the almost black and white with a hint of colour. I usually don't like a picture with the horizon line in the middle, but you have a way of making it work every time!! sophie @ September 1, 2009
