Chris,
Excellent way to capture reflection in this photo. It almost feels like the earth is pressed between the water and the sky. Really well done!

Hi Chris!
What a great sky! In fact, with this sky and its reflection on the water, I guess you don't need much more. The composition and the light are very good.

Wish there were a few rain drops falling too....annd then the shot would had sent me to ecstasy.
Still sitting before the monitor with all my sesnes enjoying this beauty,I wonder how the clouds made such a low level flight.
The only complaint here is................I rivted mine eyes to the shot and remain glued to the screen for at least 5 minutes.......couldn't see a single waterbird.

A most attrctive setting here Chris and as you say some of the same impression as from my lake in the Norwegian mountains.
I like the very soft reflection in the water here. Nice work.

Hovering cumulus clouds are simply fabulous. Lights and reflections on the lagoon are impressive.

Hi Chris,
I`m afraid I cannot provide you with a constructive critique for a very simple reason: your photo is just perfect and you know it. Since it would be just silly to try to say bad words about it I have nothing else to add than my congratulations for this and my thanks for your care for high quality uploads.
I also read your intro and I felt it`s my intro, just worded in a better way.
P.S. About the HDR discussion: I think the post-processing is real good, so good that one can hardly tell what has been done to the picture. The best pp is the one you don`t see, right?:)
Thank you,
Nelu
