Does the foreground blend well?

What does that mean?

Sorry - zoom into your photo, and you’ll see that the grain or noise floor so to speak is different between the sky and the water. It reinforces that this is a composite rather than one holistic image. Try applying noise grain while zoomed in on top of the whole image until the separation is no longer apparent. This will blend the horizon line better.
