Image made at a small lake in the Everglades about 20 minutes after the sun had set. I am pretty happy with this but I am not sure if I pulled all there was out of the image from the comp to post processing. I do so little landscape work since going digital I would appreciate any and all comments on improvement.

! You did very well with the clouds and how they don't touch the rocks so they add a nice flow to the image. From a technical standpoint.....I like that you can see the FG rocks under the water. Your eye sees the sky lighter than the water as a rule.....and while having the FG brighter doesn't bother me.....some find it unnatural.....so going a hair lighter on the sky and a bit darker on the water.....would make it a bit more natural. Just something to keep in mind if you try another PP version but this was handled very nicely!
