A very cool scene and a strong composition. The overly bright lighting is the only thing holding me back from giving it a top vote.

Weather wise it looks as though this wasn't a particular good day for taking photographs! Whilst you have caught some good glistening water, the sky - which takes up more than half the photo - is dull and devoid of interest.

good landscape but i feel the brightness is a little overpowering in the middle. takes away from the rest of the image.

Nice seen, though it looks a bit overexposed, particularly in the center of the shot.
