Fantastic pic, great text book composition, good shot well taken and not a bad overall exposure, as it was taken! as it were .... not massaged by the 'big soft ware packages' best regards Ron

I like this one and am interested in a couple of points. Was this using the 16-45mm lens? I see it was at 16mm and looks to me like much more is achieved there than I would at 18mm with the kit lens. 2mm doesn't sound like much but the picture says it all. I also agree with the above posting, I am not so keen on over processed pics that just don't look real, this one is more natural. One thing I might say though is if you still have the RAW file have you tried different White Balances with the picture? If you used AWB you might find the daylight or cloudy WB brings up the colour in the stones just a tad. The one thing this picture slightly lacks for me is a bit more warmth in the colours, otherwise to me its spot on. Also which part of the image did you point your focus on?

Thanks Ron & Bigcog.
The lens was the DA16-45 and I think I focused on the rope just beyond the buoys. I'll have a little play with the white balance and see what difference it make.I agree that it looks a little flat but I didn't want to over do it.Unfortunately the sky to the left was slightly burnt out so I cropped it as much as I could
