A yacht harbor bathed in blue hour's pastel colors

After going to a house warming party in Redwood City I went for a sunset shoot at Westpoint Harbor, a yacht harbor in the San Francisco Bay. I waited until the blue hour was casting some nice pastel colors on the water.

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