Thanks for the comments. I tried removing all of the hills in the 
background and it was just a little too abstract for my taste, but I 
know what you mean Doug - they provide a context but also some 
distraction.

As for the lack of detail, it is my flatbed scanner that I blame - it's 
hard to get a sharp scan from that thing. The negs are very sharp, 
though overall I am not really WOW'd by the new Kodak HD film. I think 
I was shooting at f11 and 1/750 so the water has no blur. I'm glad the 
shot worked for you anyway - thanks again!
