Post-Processing:
Crop. Fine tune tilt to match the dock. Topaz Studio2 filter. Clone out one distracting sign. Moved the ducks in a little closer from the edge of the image.
Extra Info:
Challenge rules requested your creative intention in using a Dutch Angle:
I wanted to concentrate the attention on the grandmother showing her grandson how to fish. I aligned the image with the dock they were standing on to anchor the image. This gave me the Dutch angle and removed some of the background and some distractions. I tried cropping closer but removing the reflections of the two people, the boats and the disturbed water sucked the life out of the scene.

Michael, I can see your point. Really the colours and freshness of this image are so lovely, and the reflections so vivid, it makes me wish I could just see this straight up. If you know the two here, I hope you got some regular shots for them. As a boy, it looks like the sort of moment you might savour forever.

I like the composition you arrived at. The colours are refreshing and the scene appealing. keeping the dock level made for a better photo.

ysal. I cropped this so many ways I might as well have it in a shredder :-) Did a lot of work on a crop with just the dock under their feet. More nice reflections on the right but I was concerned that it might identify me from the last challenge (same boat club). Fun topic though!

This is a beautiful scene (I'm jealous) beautifully photographed. I'm torn through. I want to only see the dock and the two people with their reflection. Or, I just want to see the boat and trees and the beautiful reflection on the right.

fc - Thanks.
Jade - Alternately, consider that having the subjects facing you might detract from the fishing aspect which I was trying to emphasize.
aco - Funny you should mention that. At one point I played with cloning the dock away completely and having the subjects 'stand' just above the water and their reflections - talk about an uneasy feeling :-)
kerszkavet - Thanks. I liked this challenge, it made me broaden my horizons.

A nice scene, and keeping the boats and the reflections was a good idea.
Interesting use of the tilt to help focus on the subject.

Dutch Angle generally gives the viewer a sense of disorientation and unease -- hardly seems appropriate for such a pleasant and peaceful scene.

I love everything about this shot except the angle and the subjects facing away from the camera.
