It looks plenty sharp to me.
I might have gone with a slower SS, but just a tad.
Easy to overdue it and you erred on the right side but maybe 1/6 or so would look a bit smoother.
I don't know the setting but if you could have got a bit lower, that would also would have looked nice for me.
An attractive scene..

Hi Cheryl, I am still hanging out at the cottage so reviewing on my smartphone, can't really comment on color and such, but I do like this comp quite a bit and do like the flow to the water. I generally avoid man-made elements in my images but the block wall works very well for this scene. Nicely done :)

The repost looks much better color wise, the first post was very crunchy.

The repost is much better I really like the comp and flow of the of the scene and the stone wall works really well here also.
Downsizing compromised the sharpness a bit.
Cheryl I would recommend the following three step sharpening work flow, first a very light round of capture sharpening when the image is open to counter the effects of the AA filter, after optimizing the image and resizing it you can do some creative sharpening and then finish with a sharpening pass for finale out put. The key is to save your creative and out put sharpening as the final steps and only after the image is sized for its finale use.

Thanks, Don for your comment and also thanks for the workflow tips. I usually do as you suggested with sharpening after downsizing and I'll leave my master image unsharpened. I think the problem with the OP was that I must have done a midtone contrast sharpen and did too much. I think I went through a "midtone contrast sharpen" phase on a bunch of images and hopefully I've gotten over it.

Hey Cheryl,
I like both versions....but I might tone down the brightest green areas a few points. Time to get some waders and go on in!!!
