The original was too blue for a fall sunset picture. I warmed it up a bit. I also lowered the clarity but used an adjustment brush on the reflection and the waves to increase their sharpness and clarity. I ended with a small vignette. Here’s the original:
I'm a photographer and homeschooler
Dream = travel blogger.
We move around every couple of years. That's fine, I love seeing different parts of our great country and the world.
Great things: Jesus, traveling, photography, eating, sewing, scrapbooking, reading, shopping...not necessarily in that order.

Nice image, so much happiness in it. Warming it up was the right thing to do, even the skin tones look much better this way. The image is a good example that even on our modern cameras the AutoWB (I just assume you had it set on AutoWB) has its limits. But judging the color cast outdoors on the small LCD screen is quite impossible. Probably setting WB to “cloudy” could have helped a bit. Love your Processing and the way you explain it!
