I think the saturation was actually increased during processing. It was a more hazy sunrise than usual. Also, a telephoto lens was used to compress the colors even further to achieve this result. A wide angle would get more of the colors you'd expect from the sunrises on the Red Sea.
Nice subject, light, colors, and texture. The water in the front is a bit too muddy and busy looking for my taste though. I know what a hard situation that was to work with though.. 😉 The colors look slightly off to me too…maybe a little undersaturated? Just slightly. I like the tranquil feel of this photo though.
