i see what you mean about the impressionist feel..but i too think it needs a bit of a lift light and colour wise…that blown out sky ( impossible to do anything about ..this is ireland ) is a real shame. i think cropping it just above the 2 central trees might be nice …give it a bit of symmetry with the reflections at the bottom (and get rid of some sky ) . REALLY lovely scene though. well done
Here’s a second version: levels adjusted slightly, cropped to remove the dark left and some of the sky, highlights adjusted too and warmed up slightly to boost the colours. Feedback?
