Sorry Jools, but the horizon is wonky. The horizon can be gauged by the level of the water. if you place a straight line against the water leve (such as the edge of a window on your computer)l, you'll see that it's down on the right-hand-side.

Interesting - I've observed that the majority of people here are more interested with the image overall, irrespective of whether it's achieved solely in-camera or using PP.

This supports my above point. People are commenting on the image as a whole, and not the fact that it's been done without PP.
Jools, you appear to be a bit of a die-hard "no post production" fan. That's fine, and more power to you. However, I'd suggest not getting worked up at responses from people who have moved on from that, and view photography to be an amalgamation of camera and digital post-production. You're only going to be disappointed.
