Tranquil twilight with a lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

On the first day of the new year I went to Santa Cruz, California, to enjoy the sunset at the Twin Lakes State Beach.

I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
