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

Good luck with the challenge!
