Galveston sunrise

About 6 weeks after Ike hit Shirley, Steve and I went to Galveston to shoot sunrise landscapes. I had been wanting to try long shutterspeeds to blur water and this trip was my first attempts at doing that. Unfortunately I don't think this is printable because there is red and green fringing along the edges of the piers. These piers are next to what was once Murdoch's and I think were part of its boardwalk.
Camera info: Nikon D200, 18-70mm lens at f16 and 3 seconds on a tripod
Post processing: Adjusted sliders in ACR for a good exposure in the sky, in PS selected the sky and multiplied it at 25% opacity, ran Luminizer from Kubota, Levels for brighter foreground but masked off sky, merged and cloned out bright white spots from the sand
