Hi Kaushik loke the image as is. There's a cyan cast I don't mind.... like the atmosphere given by slow SS, nice capture. Enjoy your journey !

Hey Kaushik,
I think this works very well! I love the flow of the water.....the position of the rocks....and the wonderful sky. Blend looks perfect to me too. You might consider darkening the water from the horizon down a bit or perhaps even a bit of contrast there.....but all in all.....very nicely done!!!

I wouldn't change a thing. Love the colours here, very muted and not overdone. Love the quality of the water shown and the beautiful rocks. The water swirling diagonally into the bottom left corner strengthens the composition very nicely. Beautiful.

Hi Kaushik, Agree that the comp works well but I feel the image needs a contrast adj to give the image more dimension. Otherwise well handled!

Hi Kaushik, I love the soft colors in this one. Well composed too. I would leave it as is. Very nicely done!

I like the comp, the pastel/pink color and the silky water look. Agree with Dave on the contrast. I repost with a Local Contrast Enhancement on BG copy using USM at 20/50/0

Very nice colors going on in the image, I am still going through different crops of the immediate foreground in my mind.

Thank you all for your time and kind suggestions.
I shall take these into account while I prepare this image for a print.

like the blends--colors work well together. The sharpness of the horizon and the outer rocks helps balance the softness of the water flow. Nicely done.
