Originally an outtake for the Calendar challenge. I wish I had entered it but my Photo shop skills and Capture skills were not good enough to get rid of the noise.

NEF adjustments Noise to 10

No dodge or burn as the photo really is pretty close to actual without the noise.

I know part of the sky is green but that is how it is in the photo and I can't seem to change it :(.

strange green hue to the sky.

Nice looking photo, but how did the clouds get so green?

that's a very strange green sky. I don't know if you meant it...but it looks pretty good. I like it, I hope other voters do too :)

Doesn't meet the challenge: zero.
; )

Lovely scene, but your processing has pushed this too far for me and the JPEG compression has yielded many artifacts. You've got a great subject and I think many will find it frustrating not to be able to see more of it.

Off-center vanishing point and the masts strengthen the composition, and I like the whispy highlights on the clouds; good job not oversharpening the trees on the left.

i imagine that there is a beautiful image in here, somewhere, but it is too dark for me to really appreciate it. but, remember, that's just my opinion. you do have a nice image.

a bit dark in the foreground. I like the mast silouettes, but would have like a little more detail in the boat hulls.

I love the saturation in this photograph. Especially the golden rays of sunlight meld into the turquoise of the sky. Capturing the sun face on is quite a challenge and in this case it resulted in a rather subdued mood. Effectively silhouettes the foreground. Minor notes: some harsh noise amid the clouds and the masts.

The green is an interesting idea, but the noise/compression artifacts kinda kills it

Nice shot. I wish the boats on the right were a little brighter and the sun wasn't so centered. <7>

Hue shifted too far...gives a pixellated look especially over mast area. Nice composition

I think I'd prefer a more natural sky. This looks very manipulated. I'd like to see more detail in the sailboats as well.

Spectacular shot. The boats on the right add some interest.

Very pretty, though perhaps a bit too dark.

Its a bit dark but I love the mood of it.

Very nice sunset and silhouette of the trees but looks a bit over processed in the clouds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This would have been a very nice picture if it wasnt for the oversaturation, it made the clouds green.
