Like it - what else needs to be said.

Nice composition, like the dynamic range with no burnt out highlights and detail in the dark areas. Good overall sharpness and the reflection finishes off the image. Well, of course, the color also helps.

Sorry, out of 5+'s.

I put a blur on my wild combines just to soften it for interest...but this is extraordinarily beautiful and sharp. The reflection makes it doubly so.
