This shot was taken on the second evening of the Faces and Places photography workshop that I ran with Bobbi Lane in Oman. We'd spent the morning at Wadi Shab, about two hours drive from where we were based in Muscat, then drove over to the coastal town of Sur where we photographed the harbour and fishermen until sunset. We then spent the next hour or so photographing each other and the lights on the skyline.
Most of us shot from the shore, but Catalin decided that he could get a better angle from the sea, much as he did when we shot together in 2007.

The original works for me too. The contrast, color and lighting in the processed version is wonderful. C.

Wonderful processing. Would love to see this as a mini-PSD.

Ahah, very funny :) Great processing and the final image is stunning, Cheers.

I'm surprised that the original shot you managed to capture at just 1/5 of a sec. It looks generally very low light and I thought you'd need to have had a slower shutter speed than that. Lovely toning.
Not sure you'd be standing in the see at Blackpool to capture a similar shot...

I see Catalin is giving me a run for my money in risking equipment on one if your courses! I am having flashbacks to the desert disaster of last year! Really well captured and stunning colours :)
