| Not much to add to Peter's opinion. For me, the oversaturation is ok if you convince the viewer that it was your intention. The composition could be improved - looks like you needed to pan to the right a bit :). Also, the water seems much more interesting than the sky. In such cases I would get closer and aim at the pool to get a strong foreground (just water with the inverted tree, look at that fabulous reflection) leading to the colorful boat. The 10-20mm is probably perfect for such a wide shot. |

Gary - you sure put a lot of color into this one. It does pop when on the monitor. In some way, I worry that you may have pushed it a bit on some of the processing techniques. This is noticeable when you bump those saturations up, especially in the blue and cyan channels. If you look closely around the treeline, you can see the start of some halo-ing (light areas around the trees -both in the sky and in the water). It is subtlein the sky, but is pretty obvious in the water. This really gives the shot a less polished look.
Regarding the composition, the boat being so far to the right gives the shot an unbalanced feel. I think trying to compose the shot with the boat more at at the right 1/3 mark would make the boat more the subject, rather than an afterthought. It is a very cool object and worthy of the setting.
