    Right now I don't have too much time for photography, and I'm trying to find something. I'm carrying my camera with me almost all the time.
    Ok, here is one of my latest attempts:

    Nice mood and hues in this one ! Good job, the only thing I would do is
    crop the sky in half horizontally so you get a 1/3 comp insted of a 50/50.
    The 1/3 comp with give the photo a more artistic look to it. Everythnig else
    looks great, color, exposure, contrast etc.

    Take care,

    Agree with D.O - sky crop needed. I might also lighten the highlights on the water a bit.

    Wow, I can't believe it. I thought it's a crap.
    I like that tone too, that's why I post it here, but that's just the only thing.
    Ok, I croped the sky, now is 1/3 of the picture, but this is the maximum of highlights I can add.

    Thank you guys, you saved my day

    Good crop - I MAY have left another 1/4 inch of sky.

    Huh?
    You could easily 'dodge' those highlights some more should you choose to.
    A down and dirty way in PSHOP is choose white - choose paintbrush (soft) choose soft light from the blending menu and an opacity of around 4%. Then just paint in the areas.
    Hope that helps
