 It was a toss-up between this and another shot, but being as the other shot was more of a conceptual shot, this one won my choice. I may regret it, i may not.
I may regret the fact that this might get the DNMC crowd coming in and criticising it for being a "seascape" and not a "landscape"... to anyone who mentions the word "seascape" in a criticism of this image i am just going to say this:
Dont be so pedantic, because it just backfired... this is an estuary!

Very nice sharpness, contrast, and colour. The water in the foreground is beautiful.

Very cool location. Nice job with the composition - horizon on the top third line, foreground includes the complete reflection, and the boulders/poles angle in nicely from the right. Other technicals (exposure, DOF, sharpness/focus) are right on the money as well. Well done overall. Good luck in the challenge.
