Default Sunset at Lake Erie Marina... and a hello :)

Hi everyone... I'm new to DPS and just wanted to post a quick pic and a hello. Hope to learn from everyone on here and improve my photography... as it's much needed. lol. New owner of a Nikon D60 and am still learning it.
Took this picture over the summer down at the Marina.... let me know what you think.
Edited in Photoshop CS3.. colors brightened and a blur overlay to soften.
Thanks for looking......
nice to meet everyone
