Your first offence is that I wasn't with you, with suitable cold drink nearby. Your second offence is that I would love to have seen the top of the cloud mass included. However I can see that you needed the foreshore part in your frame. If you have any room in the full frame you could easily horizontally compress slightly if you want to preserve a particular ratio. (move the near shoreline up). I don't think the crop is that critical though in this case. The exposure, however arrived at looks more than fine to me. My second impression after a WOW at the light, is that the shot needs about 1 degree (guessing cos I usually miss by about that much) clockwise rotation. However that impression is partly because the water on left appears to slope down. In fact I think it has a very subtle curve in relation to the far shore, which is probably exactly accurate. But the thicker band of land there exacerbates the perception. Depends where your eye settles as the level reference. I just measured it and you can set your horizontal via the water line or the skyline, being about 1 degree CW or .5 degree CW respectively. Did I mention WOW?

HDRI (hand-held at least), plus a little Ektachrome 100G via Alien Skin Exposure 2. This is the way I would like to see it. Was this wrong?
