    I hope you don't mind that I copied your image quick and did the edit I was referring to. I did not do anything but crop it and then resize/resample. A good idea is to view the cropped version alone on the screen by scrolling down until it is alone with out the other image..... then scroll back up to the original that I worked from to compare the two versions. Do you like the cropped version?

    Interesting and lovely image.

    I do think the fact that the point of convergence is at the centre works against the image - this and the fact that the mountains, reflections, and rocks are all competing for attention means it's hard to find the exact focus of the image - the viewer therefore has to work to "get" it.

    I'd perhaps try bringing down the brightness of the reflections, so they don't compete with the mountains. This would then give additional contrast and focus to the foreground rocks, and help to separate them from the midground.

    Not bad but something is still missing in the image to me. It's good, but not great.
    I think this image from post 9 is VERY close. Using that image as a base
    - I'd crop into or seriously lighten the black in the foreground bottom
    - I'd bring back the sky a bit more
    - I'd try to pull more detail from the 5 or so rocks in the mid-foreground in the water
    - I'd play a bit on the contrast of the large rock on the left

    Hope that helps
