Hey Mike I think you did a great job here since you just got your camera. I really like the elements here with all the clouds and water ..

Very nice, well done on the exposure. It looks spot on, you caught a lot of interesting details there.

One thing I would suggest, is that you try a crop to avoid the horizon dividing the image 50/50, sometimes more-like 30/70 (or vice-versa) can work better. Try it out and see.

edit: Turn on your 'Image Editing OK' so that people can show what they mean when C&C'ing.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the comments.

I like how the clouds look like a mountain. Excellent exposure!

In your picture I can see middle (houses-boats) background (clouds) but there is nothing for the forground which is supposed to lead you into the picture.

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Mike, and a warm welcome to the forums

Its a great start, and you've already had some good advise on how it could be improved so I won't repeat it.
Perhaps a crop of the water would satisfy 2 of the suggestions made. It would create some foreground interest with the boats and alter the position of the horizon.

Thank you all for the advice. I will try to crop but my PP skills ar lacking.
