Well this does not look hot, Ken, it looks very very cool and in every way. Great clarity and excellent compositional balance in this beautiful image.

  How do you create effects like this? Is this a filter applied to the camera or PS work? It is so beautiful....love the contrast between the blue and white! I even see the people on the other shore.....fantastic!
