    Fine image, but I preferred your earlier post which I found more intriguing. I do like the way the clouds curve around and the delicate colour. What a beautiful location.

    Hi Don, agree with Hillary in preferring your earlier post. While the image is well handled the sky has lost some of it's drama and I feel doesn't have enough interest to command that much space...

    Hi Don, I prefer the earlier post too. While I don't mind the wider view the previous post was more intriguing as Hilary notes.

    I am really liking this composition and the pattern of clouds from left and right added to the reflections act as strong leading lines.

    I believe that the problem is the large difference in bright (left) to dark (right) transition in the image. In the repost I did the following.

    1) left side curves adjustment to darken it and masked out right side using a gradient.
    2) right side curves adjustment to lighten it and masked out left side using a gradient.
    3) shadows/highlights adjustment to reduce bright highlights and open up shadows a bit.
