Amazing shot! :)
I love how everything is blended in this picture - the dark and "red" clouds, the sun, the sea and the sky reflected on it. +Fav for sure :) Congrats!

Beautiful shot! The colors are amazing and the reflection of clouds in the water are just stunning. Well done!

You must teach me your techniques.

Its not too difficult. For this I started with the underexposed as the background layer, the overexposed as the next layer on top of that, and then the 'normal' exposure in front of that.

I put a layer mask on both of the 'normal' and the overexposed layers. Then I used the paintbrush tool set to black in order to 'remove' the portions of each of the underexposed and 'normal' layers. When using the paintbrush on layer masks, black erases and white will un-erase. So if you remove too much, say for example you had the opacity set too high, just use white to bring it back.

The key is to use a low opacity with the paintbrush, no more than 10 or so. You can also use the gradient tool and drag from top to bottom or bottom to top of the image, which also works well. Again a low opacity is the best way to go, and just keep going with the tool until the image looks good.

And this is all in PSP?

No actually I use Photoshop CS3. The same thing can be done in PSP but the process is a bit different. Are you using PSP? If you don't have Photoshop I can load PSP and give myself a refresher on doing it in that and let you know.
