C&C fire away.
Though the colors may be scientifically correct, I don't know if they are
or not, they are not the way the average eye would see this theme. Our
minds adapt what we see in nature to be closer to what the average color
of that item is from our experience.
I would back off on the saturation, at least, and perhaps eliminate some
of the magenta overtones. Even though after sunset, the lakeside colors of
the posts should still be a shade of grey, not magenta. The far shore
probably did look a bit magenta, but not that much. I tried to do it down
and dirty in the Mac OS "Preview" but was unsuccessful. Not enough
control. So I gave up rather than post a more correct but not correct
version for everyone to pile on.
It's a good photo, mind you. Ken's framing idea would add to it, of
course. I've seen some sunsets from the Canadian shores of Lake Superior,
and from Saint Joseph. Ken, does it look this way since the air is 20%
more polluted globally?
Could be. From my experience this scene could be as captured, only Don knows
for sure.

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
