Very nice John. The blue 'gloom' and its reflection frames the trees really well.

Nice one John! This is a perfect example for other photographers to see about straight horizons! The reflection gives it away - that the image is in fact level - but you can't judge it by the horizon line, because the shoreline in NOT level. The tree reflections are lined up correctly. Nice job of keeping things "level". I was rambling along because that's one of my pet peeves about some landscape photos I've seen!. :)

@Mark;
Thx, you are correct. I did line up the reflections...having said that, I think it still might need a slight CCW tilt.
BTW, the light was so fleeting that I had less than 5 minutes to get a few images...then the window in the clouds closed...and all was flat once again. I may post a portrait image of this for comparison in a few days.

Good points all Mark -- but to clarify a bit, the waterline is level. The thickness of the shore above the waterline is thicker on the left than on the right, giving the impression of a tilt.

I like the moodiness of the shot. It does look just a hair tilted based purely on the reflection, not on the shoreline which can deceive when shooting from an elevated position above the water level.

I like the juxtaposition of the moods here, and the painterly reflection is great.
