Used polarizing filter to increase contrast. Created a duplicate layer and used the burn tool to damp down some of the hot whites in the mountain. Used dodging tool to lighten the right side a bit. Sharpened and resized.

A very beautiful scene, with some great light and color. The elements of the composition feel a bit out of balance though. The eye is being pulled in different directions instead of through the scene.
great image my only concern and it is a very small on is the small piece of rock that sticks above water in the center, it is really distracting as i find my eys keep getting drawn to it even while looking at the mountains.
I like this photo a great deal. The colors and contrast are quite nice - and appear very natural. The only critique I would have is that the foreground is not as interesting as I think it could be (the brown rocks are not as interesting as the grasses in the left portion of the picture). If you could have placed more of the grasses in the foreground, I think it may have come off better. Nice job!
