Eastern Oregon Sunset

I've been ripping people's photos apart tonight, so it's time for somebody else to have the same chance to do mine. I'm just looking for some of your general thoughts about color, composition, and anything else that comes to mind. Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions, and questions.

Two exposures, 0 and -2EV, processed in Photomatix, with further adjustments in GIMP. No EXIF data available, of course.

I posted this last night, but the officers here must have nuked it because of the 24 hour rule. My apologies.

Thank you for resizing it!

I honestly can't think of anything that would improve it.....The colors are vibrant, you have reflections, some reeds for foreground interest, and a dramtic sky......Looks awesome to me

It all works very well, imho. Was splitting the frame with the horizon a conscious decision due to the symmetry of the sky and water? Or, did that just happen? I ask because I have had a lengthy discussion about that in the past. lol

Probably a subconscious decision as I wanted to get the same reflection in the water as I was seeing in the sky.
