Took this quickly from a dock, as the light faded and the clouds moved. 17mm, 50D. It is two images exposure blended using Lightroom Enfuse.

    wish I was there. love the comp.
    one small thing. Is it running slightly downhill to the right, or is that just an optical illusion?
    dumb question. Why is the reflected sky so much more intense than the actual sky?

    Thanks. Tracker--you may be right about the horizon. The shot was crooked, and lacking a clear horizon line, I may have not quite corrected it. I'll go back. Re the lighting: I think this is mostly because of the angle of the light. I blended exposures to bring back detail in the sky, which was completely blown out in a shot exposed for detail below the horizon. However, I could select the sky in a layer and see if I could bring out a little more color and detail.
