Wow! I can't believe I actually won! :) Thanks everybody for voting. Now I have a reason to shoot more and more :))

I see there were some questions from commenteres about a brown gradient... this was shot about hour or so before sunset, the sun was very low on the left side and created strong gradient in the sky. This are the steps of postprocessing if someone wants to know:
-desaturated
-color balance shift until happy with brownish effect
-increased contrast
-resize
-sharpened a bit
-neat image
-added 2 pixel border
