 I shot this very dark so I could get the rich color. I boosted the saturation, brightness and contrast.
Crop, resized, converted to jpeg, hit sharpen and added type.

Edits: only a couple spots of dust in the sky..

Great color, density, etc. Good choice of font, placement over the photo rather than in a separate frame. Might be improved with a border of some kind.

I would simply call this "INSPIRATION" Fantastic burnt orange and great clarity where the water meets the land.

Beautiful reflections of the dawn and a nice rendition of the moving water.

This is a great shot. I can imagine looking at this every day.

Very nice. I really like the colors and the quote is excellent and fits perfectly. I would have preferred to have seen some sort of border for this shot though. Just something small to frame the shot. Borders are always personal preference though. Good luck with the challenge!!!

Nicely done. Great colors and composition. Focus could of been a bit better or the bottom cropped tighter. Just my opinion.

Lovely, but a bit over saturated - would like to see the original photo. Beach scenes are particularly hard to capture!

Gorgeous shot. Lovely sunset/sunrise colours. Great perspective and depth of field. I just don't like the text on the top. It would have been cleaner on the bottom, maby reversed or lighter colour. On top it creates certain inbalance (the top left seem a bit heavy compared to the bottom right of the image).
