Great landscape. The play between the sky and water is very interesting. Color saturation is great, DOF and focus is good throughout. It may just be me, but the horizon looks a little tilted CCW? Nice shot nonetheless.... 7

Beautiful scene. However, it is said that you are not supposed to have a horizon split an image. It is better for the horizon be in the top or bottom 1/3.
