New Port Beach Sun Set!

For my "Take a Photo a Day for Fifty Days Challenge" I headed down to New Port Beach after I got out of work since I got out a bit early. I thankfully found a decent place to shoot a bit before the sun started to go down so I didn't have to rush. It was quite cold out there. Originally I wanted to get an HDR just the sun & ocean but went under the pier, which made out to make a much better photo. I had to tweek the setting in Photomatrix quite a bit to get what I wanted. I wasn't 100% satisfied with the look of the photo so I did quite a bit of adjustments after in Photoshop with putting more contrast in the water & darkened the sky & clouds, had to do quite a bit of masking.
