 It was preparing to rain shortly after this was taken, so the sky was very low. I cloned out a cell tower in the background (but you can still see the reflection if you look carefully) and some lens spots caused by the weather.

One other tricky and tiny point to consider is a slightly shorter shutterspeed.. it is a toss up between blowing out a few highlights or the photo being too dark. The light in almost dead center is pretty distracting and that tends to cost you a bit in the voting. Hope this helps. The reflection part is great. EB
