I think the foreground is a must in this shot which by the way dissapoints me because it's so good I wanted it to be my desktop.Clarity,subject,Sky,Everything great..But i would have loved it landscape scale...Richie.

the very wide angle makes this a truly amazing photo... professional quality. the colors, clarity, all are spot on. i personally think the leaf isnt quite enough to make a foreground subject and actually find it slightly distracting... if it was cropped up right aboe the laf i think i would like it better but this is still a photo i wish i took!!! awesome stuff.

but methinks with less foreground the sunset, boat etc. would stand out more...in my humble opinion that is ofcourse...
But again a great shot with nice colors:))
