I that the camera angle is different.  The real image was probably taken 
with a telephoto lens from much further away.  The perspective lines 
extending from the sidewinder missiles seem to confirm this.

I faced similar problems when trying to reproduce the Tiananmen picture 
for the contrast IRTC round.  I couldn't get the tanks to look right, 
but I found another picture that showed a lot more from the plaza and I 
realised that the Associated Press journalist who took the one I tried 
to reproduce was standing on a balcony two blocks away.

I also think that your Sun is bigger that the real one.

This might explain the difference in the size/shape of the reflection on 
the water.

Now, excuse me as I'll go flagellate myself for criticizing The Master's 
work.
