welcome to the forum pjindra - a first post that I am sure is going to get a lot of enthusiastic comment.
I love the moody sky and splashes of colour on the hills against the genral near-monochrome, but I find the boat rather rudely pulling ones attention away to that corner. They joke in England that the qualification ARPS stands for 'a red patch somewhere' and, if so you would qualify.

Wow, i like it. It makes me wanting to move back to Norway, though. That is the only bad part about this picture 
. I like the boat, it give some human scale to the setting and therefore shows the grandness of the mountains around!

I don't find the boat to distracting at all. When it comes to the landscape gallery I only comment on what i believe to be the most exceptional images and this is certainly one of them. The boat really stands out, but the colours go together well, the deep blues and the harsh greys with the colour on the inside of the boat. The way it's pointing really draws the eye in. Don't listen to what everyone else says, nature photography is all about standing out. Without the boat it's any other boring old reflection. It's almost got a fine art feel to it, and I for one would have this as a poster on my wall.

I'm also a fan of the boat, the reflections, light and details. The only thing i'm not sure about are the dark clouds at the top, maybe reduce the darkness a touch?

Congratulations pjindra! This photo has been chosen as "Landscapes" Photo of the week !
respirándonos, miramos la campiña que adormece el sol,
los valles y los bosques y la humilde flor,
las islas navegando por la soledad...
