What do you think of the colors?? Too much sky???

It was taken in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. A spot that is famous for this landscape. I really like this photo but am always wondering about the coloring as well as the sky.....any suggestions.

Just a few questions. Did you use a Polarizer? What was your focal point - the sky? the landscape? the water? Need your EFIX data. Thanks for sharing.

[Morningstar33]

I added the EFIX info....sorry I forgot it.

I'd say the sky is just fine, although if you didn't use a polarizer, you should have. The sky is a bit over exposed. But the relections in the water is just amazing. Try to lighten up the buildings a bit and brighten them.

Anyways good capture

The sky looks perfectly fine to me, love the reflections of the houses.
Unfortunately two of the houses on the left side is just a little out of focus ;S Otherwise, GREAT SHOT!

TFS!

The reflections are nice, but I'd say there's too much water in this shot. On first viewing I didn't even notice the water reflections, the interesting sky and buildings stood out.
I'd crop about two thirds of the water out, to put the horizon on the bottom third line.

I'd also decrease the saturation of the trees and buildings very slightly

It's a beautiful view! I wish the fall colors of the trees showed a teeny bit more - not sure how to do that though.

Fantastic Shot.

I love the character homes that are captured. I agree with some above the reflections in the water are nice but they take away from the sky and gorgeous landscape. I would crop some of the water out to get the best impact.

Is the horizon slightly crocked?

Very Nice.

I agreed with the above comments.

It is a beautiful landscape and I'm in a bold color mood today so I visualize it with a blue sky & reflection plus bolder colors. Here's my pp version of your capture.

The crop is in 0.618034 aspect ratio instead of 2:3.
