Great job on this one! Love the soft colors, and the overall composition is very nice. It seems to be tilted slightly to the right, but other than that it is perfect.

Forgot to mention that it was taken with the Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. That could be the reason why it looks a little tilted. I didn't "de-fish" the pic at all. If I hadn't used the fisheye, I would not have got that wide a shot. That bolder you see in the middle of the pic is much much closer than that.

Thanks for you comments! greatly appreciated.

Its not a bad photo, thats for sure..
But the horizon def needs some straigtening. Regardless of lens it appears tilted to the right. Also I am not sure that the fisheye was a good choice here as it has pushed alot of interesting detail to the back of the frame. Making it almost impossible to see.
The one last thing that bothers me is that your horizon line is smack in the middle of the photo.
Location looks good and you are there at a good time, but I think a different composition could of helped this a bit more.

Cheers
