Sunrise at Topaz Lake Yesterday

Sunrise at Topaz Lake Yesterday
This was one of my favorite moments during yesterday's sunrise.  In fact I loved it so much I added a little saturation, which I rarely do (blue and purple saturation were selectively decreased).  I was just in that sort of mood... hopefully I didn't over-do it!
Exposure and processing details:
Canon 5D Mark III with 16-35mm lens
Cokin #121 GND filter
Processed in  
5.2 and Photomatix 5.0
White balance 5412, boosted vibrance +6, selectively decreased saturation blue -10 and purple -21 while boosting orange +5 and yellow +3 (reduce slight purple color caste in the GND filter, and reduce blue from Camera Standard color table).
I also adjusted exposure, brightness, whites and shadows to get a decent image while avoiding "color puke" loss of detail in the highlights which can when trying to correct color  (a symptom of inadequate color dynamic range).
