Perplunk,
The second post you presented was a big improvement. I think Mig has done a good job there to enhance it even more, although it might be a bit over done.. .still looks fine.
The scene is great, but yes, some more of those reeds in the foreground would have given more of a sense of here and there depth. The mountain right in the middle does not feel right, usually try not to place things dead center unless it absolutely works. All in all it is a pleasing shot that has lots of potential, and is nice enough as it is.
I think JoeD means well here but may lack a more tactful way of presenting his thoughts. But he makes some good points to follow.
Keep em comin . . .
