It's awful - like one of those rippling, glowing pictures found in a bad Indian or Chinese takeaway.
I'd just like to point that out.

any evidence of photoshopping?
looks photoshopped to me, should be removed. Sad mouse 17:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

This photo is obviously edited. Just look at the sky, esp. near the clouds. Have you seen clouds with such clearly-defined edges? - RobbyPrather (talk) 07:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is roughly what happened to this image (for illustration purposes only, I'll remove the demonstration later), based on a detail of another, unmanipulated picture by the same photographer. In the left frame, an unmanipulated detail of the sky with clouds and the horizon. In the middle frame, I used a magic wand to select the blue sky and created another layer. I filled the selected area with 54-122-226 Blue and set the layer to 62% darken. In the right frame, a closeup of the middle section showing the effect of the masking. There are two tell-tale signs: 1. The clearly defined boundaries of the clouds, and 2. the lack of gradation between sky at the top of the image and sky close to the horizon. With pretty much any picture of a blue sky you take, the blue gets lighter closer to the horizon. ~ trialsanderrors 21:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

this image 100% fake, not photoshopped by incredibly high saturation, which amounts to fake
Not to discredit the author of this picture, but it has been doctored (at least the sky is). This best visible on the cloud in the top right corner. The color-correction seems a bit overdone too. Otherwise I find it quite pleasing.
Does the Wikipedia have a policy regarding doctored images (allthough in this particular case I don't see a problem)?
