    A very detailed image well focused, I like the water droplets and the smooth background. It may be the time of day but the colour balance seems a little adrift to my eye, I attach an alternative for your consideration. I made a levels layer and used the white balance tool. Then I selected the brightest areas and used a linear burn at 48% to lower the brightness a little bit.

    In the light of the sunrise the colors were exactly like in my photo. I don't alter the colors to match the ideeal white- balance. I'm trying
    to capture also the mood of the moment together with my subject! Thank you for your opinion and alternative edit !

    Yes that's OK, I agree with you Adrian I too usually retain the colours as close to natural as possible. I was just illustrating a point and hopefully highlighting a technique that subscribers may find useful at some point.

    Hi Adrian. Nicely composed and lit with good sharpness and a clean background. Also, the water drops add interest. Very well done!
