I like the shorline's position in the classic thirds. Nice reflection and angles of the hill. I think more saturation as well. Some eye popping green would really jump out.
be well, stan

Anthony, I have been burned a time or two while leaving a comment (never disrespectfully I should add) as well and then burned again, unprovoked. In time, I learned it's best to ignore the ijits... you will too, my dear friend. :-)

I should just STFU, an indelicate observation recently made to my delicate self haha!
It's a real pleasure to discuss photography, and much wider thingys with you and our other friends here Brigitte. You are a calm and wise ocean.
Yours ever,
Anthony

Anthony, you could never annoy me or anger me with your critiques... you have a very kind way of phrasing things. I am sure you'd garner a smile from someone even with the most unpleasant of comments. And with that said, I have to totally agree with you and I will explain... usually I adjust sharpness to a high degree so that it looks accurately sharpened after it is compressed to a jpg. I also adjust saturation very slightly as I do not want things to look unnatural. Sometimes I will adjust brightness and contrast, but those rarely need adjustment. After reading your comment, I reexamined the original that on my computer for this upload (the post processed version, not the raw) and noticed a big difference in color and saturation. I don't know why but the uploaded version is lacking what the original had for some reason. Therefore, I readjusted the saturation in the original so that it would retain the colors when I upload it again. So, for my final upload for today, you will see the newer and hopefully better version of this image.
Thanks Anthony... I really appreciate this helpful comment!! Do not hesitate ever to leave a comment like this especially when it is so helpful. -Brigitte

I am going to annoy you Brigitte possibly, BUT, I am wondering whether you are leaving RAW images untouched in terms of post-processing? I hesitate to observe that your RAW images, which come straight off your cam's sensor, are deliberately flat and are intended to be so by design.
This image is undoubtedly flat, dull and unsaturated. It bears all the hallmarks of an un-processed RAW file.
eat me :)
