I take this shot on the seafront of Palinuro, this small beach looked out over the sunset and did not miss the opportunity to shot in the  sun direction. Taking shots in  direction of the sun provides a very important point of energy to the whole picture. I used my nd64 filter to capture water movements in bracketing mode to have various lower exposures for blending sunlight and sky

WORKFLOW EXPLANATION

With the exposure taken I make a blend using luminosity masks, I save all the water part and I recover the exposure on the sky and the sun. With dodge and burn I recover some overexposed parts of the water and darkened some glows around the mountain. Using TTS Fast Panel I launched details and sharpen and with orton effect I increased the glow effect in the photo
I used a warmer filter to increase the sunset lighting, I also fixed colors using hue saturation and increasing/decreasing the luminance and saturation of them, the color correction component affects very much of this kind of pictures especially on colors and water illumination. As final touch I added a small vignette to the frame to increse the dark look of the picture
I hope you will find this usefull. I always happy to ear it from you!
