Nice sky and reflections, NJ. A good start for the thread.

I really like this image. That pool receding into the distance is a winner. What I noticed, though, is that it has a lot of green. That makes it very monochrome looking to my eye. In keeping with that, I figured this would be a good candidate for a black and white conversion. (big surprise there, huh?) I put more contrast in the sky and manipulated the greens to be highlights. I think it gives the image more depth.

Thanks for joining in, Raf. When I come to do my own edit I'll probably go for lightening as well.

Glad you enjoyed, Erich. It responds very well to B&W conversion, and I do find my eye being led into the distance.

You've achieved an interesting look here, RnJ. And the replacement sky does a good job of framing that distant tree.

I think we have room for punchy versions, Jim-Pops. Thanks for participating (and don't forget to join in the voting).
