Can anyone help with this image. I really like it but I think it needs something...but not sure what it is. Feel free to edit it as you wish.

five minute edit. It has tons of potential, but is difficult to work with the small version on DPC. Here's a quick and dirty "hypersaturated" version.

I was thinking about doing some burning.
There is a larger version for anyone that wants it.

Here's a quick edit in the style I like to work in, if you like it PM me with your email and I'll send you the PSD to show you how I did it. Hope it helps |

First, an overall levels adjustment. Middle arrow slides to the right, bring in both end arrows slightly.
Copied the trees to a separate layer, bumped saturation, didged highlights on right side, burnt shadows on left.
On sky layer, more levels. Bumped master sat, desat in magenta, red, and yellow channels. Shifted hue slightly to the right, then ran dodge highlights and burn shadows over the clouds. Ran burn midtones and highlights across the super bright cloud in the middle right area. Cloned out contrails, ran a color sponge over a distracting yellow spot in the clouds high along the right edge.
Flattened everything, threw in a little USM.

Or you could just have just held the camera upside down.
And take it at a later time of the day, and ...

| A better answer would have been you booked a flight to the place and reshot it. :P |

Here's a version starting with a mild dose of tone mapping, then through levels and curves and some color balance work to cool it down:
For the record, Brad's onto something; when you see a perfect reflection like this, it's often better to do maximum water and minimum sky; it's usually much more dramatic.
