Thanks for looking and commenting Frank and Wayne. Regarding the not level issue, my first operation in PS was
to straighten it on the vertical in the castle. On noting the off kilter reflection after the correction I attributed
that in a 2 sec analysis time to the odd phenomenon of reflections on uneven surfaces appear to skew towards the
observer, like headlights reflecting on wet pavement. An operator error in PS was deemed a second remote
possibility. I had mentally noted Marnie's long exposure time that would seemingly even out the small
ripples. Glass like water on that inlet is rare. The physics and underlying math of that phenomenon is a bit
complicated.

I am still at work and can't put a grid on it, but my revised opinion putting a straight
edge on it that despite my efforts, Frank is right and it /is cockeyed. Arghhh.
Once in a while the simplest explanation is correct. I will recheck in PS.
Disagree, looks perfect to me.
I also did take artistic license and added a layer with a 35 pixel Gaussian blur with 20% opacity to enhance
the glow a smidge. I think Frank may be correct and I should trim the highlights just a tad on the
castle after that procedure as it led to some loss of detail due to the enhance "glow".
For images I rather like, I now save the PSD file so I can review after a few days as problems may be
missed the first go around.
I find the lighting far more upsetting/distracting. That's where I'd take artistic license. Don't seem to be able to
download full size, so I left it a bit messy.
