I don't think it has to be perfect to inspire those feelings. The glowing warmth does have a dramatic effect over the shimmering shore. Has a feeling of energy yet relaxing too.

Actually, I think it is pretty perfect. If you were standing there, enjoying the summer evening, staring across the ocean at the sunset, the contrast in your vision would not be great. This picture really looks like what you would see -- and captures the moment magically. Excellent pic and well done!
