Oh I really like this - I can almost dip my hand in the water..... there is a very liquid quality to this shot.
I thought at first that it needed levelling but I also see that the seats in the boat ARE level - whether leveling the shoreline would make the boat look wrong I'm not sure.....

Thanks Mike.
I've never been able to get a horizontal horizon in my life, so I expect you're right about that. To get the shot I was thigh-deep in the ocean without any sort of waterproof housing on the camera. Tried very hard to keep my balance!!
