Welcome on the forum, Jason!
This is a very nice photo with a good, moody sky. I also like to soft colors and the not-too-long exposure.
Well done.

I like how the lighting and composition convey depth.

I like this a lot too, although the horizon has an almost CG effect it.

Jason,
As much as I enjoy the image in its entirety, the lower half for me is a treasure in its isolation...would love to live with the lower half printed large for awhile. Really nice...

Thanks everyone. I agree that the horizon has an almost "fake" look. I'd like to say I did that in post processing but I did very little to this image. That is one of the things I love about long exposures, especially in odd light situations, sometimes you get the unexpected. Patricia, I agree, I considered doing a crop to see how it looks. I will post it up when I do.

I like it, except the highlights in the water look to me like they were blown out and then pulled down using a curve - gives them a somewhat muddy look.  If there's no information there you can't fix it, so I'd leave them bright.

Like it, their is something very appealing about the simplicity and subtle colours here...nice shot very well done.
