Reflection of a sunset

Dave, what HDR software do you use?

Here's the original as promised, straight out of the camera....

I was impressed with the first shot, but I'm even more impressed by it now that I've seen where it started. 

Do you mind explaining a little more on how you got from the original to the final version?

Glad you liked it Ryan. The original raw file was opened in Photomatix HDR software. You can use it to make a HDR image from a single raw. It's not a true HDR but works quite well. After tone mapping I had detail in the sky and foreground. The area of the sun was still burnt out so I cloned some of the surrounding area back to where the sun was.
I added a gradient layer over the sky - black to transparent - and changed the layer blend mode to overlay. This made things much more dramatic.I then started wotk on the colour, using hue and saturation adjustment layers with masks.
Finally I did lots of dodge and burn to get the light and shade as I wanted them to be.
I know this is hardly a tutorial but it gives an overview of the process and I hope it's of some help.

If you want anything more specific just ask
