There is subtle elegance in the tones of the tidal waters. It is peaceful and interesting. Part of the sky is super interesting.... part is milky white. I do like the placement of the horizon line on the upper thirds area. The strength of the scene is the inclusion of foreground shore... giving the entire scene a three dimensional effect.
