The "at-the-coast-sunset/sunrise-with-a-wide-angle-and-a-shiny-foreground" photo is something of a cliche, but this is different enough to be an excellent example. Nice one.

I`m in a minority of one here. I don`t like it. Technically it`s a magnificent photo, but it looks as though it was taken in a studio; Somehow it doesn`t look real. It would make a great Christmas card though.

Fractalius is an amazing filter; I love it. The results can be something of a lottery but that`s half the fun; Not knowing what you`re going to get. This is a superb photo; What makes it work is the almost luminous glow. How did you light it?
