 I would have preferred a small canoe, or some ducks, or something in the water, but alas, no such luck.

Shot hand-held with the Canon 16-35/2.8L at 16mm

Cropped to 8x10 aspect ratio, "Shadow/Highlight" filter to bring out the contrast, slight increase in green saturation, "Match Color" to neutralize color cast, NeatImage, resize, USM.

Nice reflections and exposure. I think cropping out the jetty on the left would improve the image.

I like the reflection you caught in the water in this pic. People in the top left corner are a little distracting.

Good one. Sky is overwhelming though. Perhaps crop a little bit of the sky to emphasize the beautiful reflection more and so your viewer's eyes are led to the vanishing point rather than the sky.
