Taken some days ago on my way home.
Heavly processed (as can be seen from the noise in rightmost blue pool) because I didn't had time to use a tripod.

Nice, Diego. Sometimes hasty is best.

Thanks :)
I would have liked the shot to be less noisy, though... :P

Several things:
First, nice shot. Being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of it.
Second, there seems to be plenty of sharpness, in case you'd want further to reduce luma noise and thus sacrifice some of it.
Third, the noise appears to be predominantly color noise, which is much easier to remove than luma, with much less harmful effect for detail.
Fourth, although it might be easy to remove, you still might decide to keep the noise as-is, as heretic (to photographers) it may sound. An anecdote I mentioned on these forums before: admiring a nice image of a friend photographer, with a similar area covered with water as yours, I couldn't help noticing a really visible chroma noise (the type from the early days of digital cameras). I tried gently to suggest that modern software could easily remove it, when he responded: "Hell, no! That is my bestseller. Clients love it as it reminds them of an impressionistic or pointillistic painting." :)
And, finally, fifth: the fear of noise is overrated, in particular with modern cameras.

Plus 1, 2, or several. An exaggerated fear of noise is the same kine of crabbed thinking that leads people to crop when, in fact, they framed the scene correctly in the first place.

Repeat several times, rapidly:
"What kind of noise annoys an oyster? A noisy noise annoys an oyster!"
But if you aren't an oyster, it's a fine shot just as it is. ;)

I like it and think the noise is acceptable, at least for this kind of viewing. A good sized print might do better with a little NR, maybe just brushed in to any trouble area(s).
The scene looks pretty similar to many around here. I love river shapes and colorful skies.
