For as simple as this image is, the grit and texture of it makes it interesting to me. Good work.

Thanks for all the comments...I am having a bit of trouble in general with noise - so I will start working on that.

Interesting sky. Might be oversat. I like the colorful reflections on the water. The image probably needs another element of interest. The sailboat out there would have been very useful, if it had been much closer.

Comes off very soft and grainy, I'm afraid. At 123k, you also had a lot more overhead on the file size. Thought I see no obvious artifacts, using less compression might have helped squeeze a little more clarity out of this scene. (Don't worry about it. I'm a bit anal when it comes to compression.) I do like the way you caught the reflection of the orange colors on the water.
