Taken from South Perth foreshore near Mends St. Jetty. In the company of signal2noise and nuzzer. Taken using Nuzzer's 24-105 F4L IS.
Opened through camera raw, rotated to straighten horizon, cropped, noise ninja twice, resized, USM twice, saved for web. Expecting somewhere in the 5 range, probably low end of it.
Post Challenge Well, that was pretty cool, top 50, 6.23, second highest score, gee I love my city!

Congrats on the 6+ and top 50 finish. I do think the shorter exposure was good call on this one - providing solid blacks on the top and bottom. Good job.
Great reflection on the water. I would have instinctively gone with a longer shutter speed but that would have blurred the reflection instead of capturing it the way you did.
Nice shot. Some comments...
1. Is the horizon level? It doesn't quite feel it
2. Maybe a saturation boost on the reds would help bring the reflections out a bit more
3. Overall the shot feels cramped in the frame, we need some empty space above and below if possible
