Aaargh! The horizon tilt… and I didn’t notice it until the comments started coming in!
The crazy thing is, I looked at the image at least a thousand times before entering it.
The tilt definitely cost me a lot of points but I’m happy that the score is nearer 6 than 5.
When I read that the challenge was called HDR II I thought I’d sit it out because I hadn’t a clue what it is. I knew what hdr images looked like but that was it.
However, I couldn’t get it out of my mind so I read as much as I could find on the subject and downloaded the Photomatix trial software, loved the result and ended up paying for a licence.
Photographing the frames and working on them brought me the same peaceful feeling as IR photography does, so I know this is going to be something I’ll be doing a lot of (and in future I’ll make sure I get the horizon straight ;-))
Thanks so much for the constructive and helpful comments.

The tilt bothers me, but water is pretty and colors are fantastic. Sky is a little too separated from the dock because it is so sepia and the dock has so much saturation. Nice try, but technical errors take it down to a five for me. Also, the dock doesn't really seem like a dock. I would have liked it more had that stone been an old wood dock falling to pieces. good try! You've got a great eye.
