Nice picture. May be have a try cropping a bit the right side.

I disagree with the cropping simply because right now the sun set and the reflection is the central theme of this photo and that would put it off kilter. Great picture Alun.

Did you use a filter or was that natural light.
Can´t see a tree anywhere(shame)

I gave this a try once. Then I defaulted to Hobie Cats and sloops, where individual skill was less of a factor.

C'est superbe, l'étrangeté du ciel fait qu'on se demande d'ou vient cette lumière sur l'eau ? C'est surprenant et très attractif !
