I took this picture a few years ago. I liked it, but it was a little bland. I made some minor edits in Lightroom. What do you think?
Very nice step up, David!
I like what you’re doing with the photo. That said, the blue on the water is a little heavy for me, and I’d either crop out or erase the rocks in the lower left. Much improved over the original, though.
Trees look nice. The water, IMHO, is a little over processed.

Thanks! I was wandering if the blue was a bit heavy. I'll go back in and tone it down a little.
Cooked. Shadows too deep. Sky unnatural coloration. Subject uninteresting. Composition (layers) does not save this photograph.
Zooming in to capture the boat dock in isolation might have offered a more interesting photograph.

I think I prefer the original, 2nd looks artificial too me
I have to say I much prefer the original photo.
I like the soft palatte of the first image. The sky and it's reflection doesn't seem to add to the story, so like Jaymatt, I'd suggest cropping out the rock and some of the water on the bottom and a bit of the sky on the top. Bev
