...and you should, too. This is a good one. It's kind of annoying that the shore makes the photo feel slightly tilted, but I realize that the shore is not the horizon (which IS straight). As it were, the reflections being straight help to counter that illusion. Good job.
More night shots definitely, but less colored borders! This would look pretty slick without the border, and another suggestion would be to include either more water or more sky, to avoid placing the horizon so close to the middle of the frame.
