Moonset at Corona Del Mar

Captured this the other day at around 8:00 a.m.

Great idea, superb composition, nice processing. I think it's a winner.

Thanks Jon. I did make some color adjustments, but will not re-post.

Oh heck, here is the adjusted version.

It doesn't make any difference what kind of subtle changes you make in color balance or increasing saturation of some colors. We aren't trying to present something that totally mirrors what the human eye sees, we are producing art. You produced a photograph that is artistically pleasing.

The unedited version looks other worldly, lovin it

Thank you. I thought the color looked a bit off on my monitor the first time around. That was the reason for editing.

Another vote for the original version.

It's very pretty. The pastel blues, provide a subtle contrast to red tones. Screw natural in this case. The second may be more true to life representative, but it doesn't look as pretty.
