Lovely image - I think I would clone-out all the white lights in the background, and perhaps try 'unsharpening' a touch to remove the fringing mentioned by others - I only know Canons DPP at present, but am familiar with the fringe effect caused by over-sharpening in that progamme. Otherwise, it is a pity that both the grass in the foreground and the treetops in the background are not pin sharp - but I'd be glad to have taken the shot!

jam, I'd be interested to see your exif data.
Love the pic but like most of the posters here, I'd get rid of the lights on the far side of the lake. I too would prefer to have the foreground in focus.
Thanks for all of the comments. Finally back at my computer. Went back and looked at the other pics I took of this scene. This one is a RAW pic at a different time. I took out the white streaks in the back . Most of them were not really lights but reflections of the sunset off the water in most cases. The outline is gone in this one and can not really figure out why. Hope everyone has a great 2014.
Definite improvement - quite envious now!
