Congrats, Mark. I can imagine you down on your belly to take this :)
:)
That's kinda what I was doing. I was on a towel, laying on my side in the wet sand. I needed to get the camera as close to the ground (sand/mud) as possible but didn't want the camera/lens to get too close to the sand. It was hard trying to look through the viewfinder with my left eye and had a lot of unusable shots that the horizon line was off. Did this on two different shoots and was soaked and filthy afterwards on both.
Here are a bunch of outtakes.
Thanks everyone for the very kind votes and comments!

too good and you know it :-))) almost unsettling (in a good way....holds long interest because of the angle) If the clouds weren't there it would be very surreal with no horizon line! I can't bump it up as I already scored it so high! :-)
I really love how this looks like the boats are floating high in the sky, not actually on the water. Really gives it a surreal look. The portrait crop enhances this vision, and the bokeh soft and delicate.
To achieve such a perfectly exposed image in a minimal rule set shows, you are a master of your camera.
WOW!
I have no idea where to horizon is... and i love it! The blurry sand (or whatever it is) simply guides you towards the boats.
I wonder how it would look like in B/W and with some more contrast. Or with more saturated colors. I have a feeling that there is even more potential in this photo if only the rules were not Minimal Editing.
