Excellent, postcard excellent shot. The sun reflecting on the water and the angle that you have taken this photo at is just great. Do I sound like Tony the Tiger!!

Great composition and you've dealt with the sun incredibly well...these kind of shots straight into the sun are very hard to get right.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Although the Houses have been already photographed a couple of times, it's not a reason for not doing it again, conditions arise. The structure of the image has somewhat of a cross. Good composition.
