I love going to this spot, and I do have a few previous photos from near here.

PS: cropped, lightened the middle ranges with LEVELS, burned the mountains a bit, dodged those lower clouds just a tad, increased saturation by about 10%, increased saturation of the water another 10%. cleaned it up a bit, sharpened, thought it was still too dark, so I raised the middle slider again. Liked it, resized, sharpened again, posted.

Certainly a breathtaking experience to have stood there with camera. The vastness is amazing. Bumping up to next level.

I really like this image, but when my eye was looking for a catching point it was led to the boat hook - and it doesn't add as a catching point to your image. If there had have been a boat that was moored to it I would have rated it much higher. You've also got a bit of a slant on your image.

it's a lovely shot, no question. the colours seem a little bit washed out though. don't know if the contrast wants upping or what (i'm not remotely technically minded) but for me, i don't know, i think the greens don't look green enough. mountains are captured well though, and looks especially majestic. 8.

Peaceful, nice colors. Not much exciting going on.

The mysterious looking background makes you want to dock your boat and explore. Well done.
