Nicely captured.
A very beautiful scene
I am wondering about slightly reducing the amount of water?
That looks to be a better balance, Dan. Just fractionally darker than the original.
Beats me why. I didn't change any aspect of tonality. because of a failed plugin, I uploaded differently, and perhaps there was some code in that that affected brightness.Just fractionally darker than the original.
Thanks. a very good suggestion. I did some more of that, although less than you. I also reduced the saturation of the water very slightly. I had not increased it, but it looked a bit unnatural.I would get in there and dodge the trees and houses to open up the shadows some more.
My smugmug site was getting cluttered with versions, so I replaced the image in the OP with this edit.
