I didn't know about the challenge when I shot this, as we were just returning on the boat from the Florida Keys back to the home dock at LaBelle, a 3 day trip. I am curious to see how it will do in this advanced editing challenge. My guess is about 5.3.

OOOOOO, WOW, this is beautiful! There are two different images here, the sky and the trees, in one side, and the water and the ripples, waves, on the other. I understand that it is difficult having a sharp photo with a 6.7 aperture, but I wish there was a bit more definition on the far field, like the clouds and the trees. The water itself is beautiful, it would be beautiful to have the lower part of the photo on a physics textbook. And the colours are beautiful, very nice, dynamic and appeased at the same time.
