Great photo and it proves that blues skies and sunshine are not mandatory. Did you use a polariser for the clear water?

Yes, whilst it's generally true that things look better in sunshine, this does not always apply. Especially when the 'bad' weather can be incorporated into the picture. This is perhaps as well, given the places I like to take pictures. I did use a polariser on this occasion.
