Not for me - lol.
Love the BW - it sings but it could still sing louder with more pp work particularly dodging a bit in the water to see more reflection details - and burning in all over the blacks by 10-25%. - I see no deep blacks on my monitor.

Thanks MB & Marko
Marko, I did a quick re-edit based on your suggestions, and (as is normally the case) I prefer the rework. Thank you.
Tie breaker coming up ---- B&W, but then you knew I would say that.
