Nice shot, I like the reflection.

Although I think the horizon needs a slight correction as the buildings seem to lean a bit (or could just be my eyes playing tricks)

Thanks for the comment. The buildings are vertical, it's the shoreline that makes it looks tilted. I did rotate it slightly in Photoshop using the ruler and the Rotate Arbitrary option. I agree it still looks tilted but the buildings are vertical.
