The Verllo ShutterBoss II should fill your want. Note that the instructions included are not correct as it must be turned on to function for single image release. Apparently there was a change that did not get into the printed instructions.

On a recent trip to Asheville, NC I took (as I always do) a side trip trough GSMNP, entering from the Tremont, TN side. This image was made on Upper Tremont Road near the first of two one lane bridges. Sky conditions were cloudy very uniform light. This unnamed feeder to the Middle Prong of Little River has no name. It enters Middle Prong of Little River near Big Hollow.
Camera was level. The slope is the slope of the hillside.

You can try an app like this from Wondershare. A quick Google search will turn up all sorts of hard drive recovery software.
P.S. I do not use Windows so I have no idea if this is a good, bad, or just so-so application.

As I said "Quick and Dirty" edit. Probably a selection error as I only spent 5-6 minutes on this image. HTH
As I thought a selection problem. How about completely hiding the water and focus on the mountains and sky. This makes it a panoramic image.

I like the original best. The subdued water texture doesn't bother me in the least. I find the water texture in the second one jarring and I gave up on the picture immediately except what is that white rectangle?

One of the joys of courteous conversation on a photo forum is reading viewpoints from others, perhaps seeing something in a different way because of that conversation, and learning a bit too 
Your lightening of the foreground balances the composition nicely, though the texture still bothers me because it competes for attention with mountains and clouds. Does the OP like your edit?

I may have overlightened the foreground. What is most bothersome to me (and it can be fixed) is the very bright reflection of the clouds in the calm water right at the base of the mountains left of center.

The mountains and clouds make a breathtaking, striking image.
The foreground has a textured look that, for me, distracts from the rest. As a separate image, the water patterns and textures are quite fascinating.

I might disagree, I think the water adds interest. My quick and dirty ps edit is attached.

They've won six games this year.
If allowed this is the death knell of college sports, and good riddance. Now tax the stadiums and arenas that are built with tax dollars. Tax the income of all the athletic departments. Remove any tax exemptions of all the tax avoidance schemes that surround and support college (sic semi-pro) "athletes".

Going to New York for a few days, need advice on a small camera that takes good photos.
Use you iPhone. Make sure you have it set to rake only RAW captures.

It's good to be back after many years.

This is how to post an image of any sort.
Only two steps to post any image. Must redo for each image.

received this today from the wall street Journal. a couple of years ago the local papers stop delivering.
"Due to logistical constraints, we will no longer be able to provide print delivery in your ZIP code. For this reason, you will be updated to a digital-only subscription starting April 1, 2024. "
What good is the digital. Oh well, half the articles were never proofread with paragraph long sentences and they were getting more left of center.

I get you. We still get the WSJ (paper edition) delivered but service is horrible. The standard is now that it only has to be on the driveway (anywhere on the driveway) and is never delivered to the front door. In the winter after a snowfall it is always a guess who will find the paper: the snow removal crew or me. If the former then it is mute as it will be unreadable.
Also the place it in a flimsy plastic bag. More often than not it there is any moisture on the driveway, the paper is soaked even inside it's "Protective" plastic bag. Go figure.

Are these refurbs being sold directly by Nikon USA (as in the refurbishing was done by Nikon) or some non-authorized dealer? If the former they should come with a 90 day warranty from Nikon USA. If the latter you might not be able to get any needed service done by Nikon down the road.

AFAIK this is a Nikon sale sponsored by Nikon. No 3rd party involvement.

I'm a fan of the price savings refurbished. The only caution is to read the fine print and consider if a reduced time-period for the product warranty justifies the lower price.
Cogent point.
