Tranquil start of a new year

On the first day of the new year I went to Santa Cruz, California to witness sunset at the Twin Lakes State Beach. Later that night I went to a cliff near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk to take a night shot of the at that time closed amusement park.

 

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