Leading to the light
The image is lovely, the way that the ripple in the water leads the eye is perfect. I also like the intersection of angles, the ripple to the tide and the tide to the horizon. To top it off the colours and exposure are just right.

I think one problem composition-wise is the angle that the wave is crossing over on - it kind of cuts off the flow of the leading line ripple and conflicts - maybe another with no wave would work better? Also the wave is squeezed in rather near to the horizon, so it may be an element to sacrifice?
It may be the poor monitor I'm using here at the moment, but I'm seeing some banding in the sky, and some blue interference? If it is there then a bit of NR should clear it out

I can't see any banding or blue interference on my monitor.

Looks OK to me too. Better get an AA filter for your monitor!
Well seen image and an unusual cross flow of the tide.

Having said that, I love the photo and don't think I'd have noticed the banding had Nigel not mentioned it.

I don't really see the need for such a 'defense' here against my observation ... nothing about it is an any way a comment on the photographer's ability, and he could not have done anything about it when shooting anyway. I can only comment on what I see, and I can only assume that others are just not looking that closely
This is really a matter of final tidying up & presentation - how important it is to the photographer will depend on the final output size. I know it could not be printed very large without being a problem, and I would add to that the fine luminance noise still present across the entire sky.
I only flag up matters like this that may affect final presentation to alert the photographer to something that may have been easily missed in preparing the shot initially. I myself would always greatly apprectiate the extra eyes honing in ,and I believe the photographer here most likely does too. But I could easily just leave it out, and add something more easily ... perhaps this is better ..'Another cracker Alan '.
But I don't think that's what he needs.
