 Taken at the Hammond Marina, same place as my Day 01 picture. The original was quite flat looking, and I achieved the look here by using the Nik Efex Glamour Glow (x2) and then Nik Efex Tonal Contrast. It seems to be a good combination to bring out a lot of detail and yet keep it nice and smooth. Besides that I did a bit of dodging/burning and USM (low % & high radius to increase contrast).

I tried a new tool in Adobe Camera Raw - the straighten tool. It is incredibly easy to straighten horizons and it crops automatically for you. No more struggling to get that horizon perfect!

Excellent! I really like the vanishing point and converging lines. The colors are another treat in themselves.
