This is a perfect entry for the "Beach" challenge. It's unusual in perspective and processing. The combination makes an interesting piece. Great textures in the sky as well as the boat and the beach and I really like the dark area at the bottom left. I do like this as a black/white, but I'd love to see the color version too.

Good idea. It took a while for me to realise I was looking at a reflection but once I did I would have liked not to see the shapes in the background of the reflection
