Thanks to everyone for their positive comments. This was my first challenge and I really did not expect to get an average vote of 6.2235.
The odd colors & shapes in the foreground is ice. Its lit by an amber street light on the warf where I took the picture. Since the shutter was set for 30 seconds it moved just enough to soften it around the edges.

The sky color is absolutely beautiful. The reflected clouds are quite amazing, but really seem to mess with my mind which sort of takes the calm out of the scene.
Normally, this'd be quite an uninteresting shot (for me at least) but the orange in the foreground kept me staring at it for quite a while. Is this a reflected cloud? Algae? Sand? Whatever it is, it really makes the shot stand out. Well done.
Great photograph. The best part for me is the reflections of the clouds in the water. I love the rich blue mixed with the rich orange. Great photograph.
if I am not mistaken, and I could be, i recognize this photogs work....nice to see you back...(and nice photo - love the colors and the peaceful feeling.
