Tidal Sunset

Sunstar over a tidal creek in the ACE Basin of South Carolina's Lowcountry. I went back and forth whether to include the cloudless sky but I liked the reflection of the tree with the Spanish Moss hanging from it. Because I wanted the symmetry on that tree I opted to include the cloudless sky and went with a sunstar.

Simple, but very effective--i really like it! My only suggestion is to maybe do some cloning to shorten the far right ray from the sunstar a bit, so its more symmetric (like the shot!) Nice! :cool:
EDIT: oh on closer look i noticed the reflection is brighter than the sky--usually a no-no but i kind of like that effect here.
