		Just for information, the sky over the hill behind the pavilion (part that I cropped out) was not blue at all, but really grey, but you may speak about the sky reflecting in the water when you say blue.
		I do believe as you say that the setting of my camera (doing my best to get the reflection in the water in spite of a weak light) artificially increased the luminescence of the sky over the hill, and definitely that could be fixed by some manipulation.
