The DOF is deep/complete. The glare of a flash is too evident. If you selected a small aperture for this shot (evident by the foreground and bg in focus, the shutter speed would be somewhat slow. Your results are good... because the flash forced the shutter speed up to 1/60s.... maybe 1/200s. It worked, but generally, a small aperture reduces shutter speed enough to create motion blur concerns in the animal. An interesting image to reveiw.

Bear_Music, the foreground luminosity is less than the sky. And, I did work to accomplish the principle, of which you speak.

The image is level. The left shoreline curves away to the far end of the lake and then begins to curve back very slightly.
