The subject(s) are aesthetically gorgeous, but I was working (stupidly, in the middle of the other side of the planet), without a polarizing filter, so crouching to get a thirds composition resulted in horrendous glare.

Go to town:

How much picture do we have to work with here?

The top 2/3s of the pic, while very pretty, doesn't do much for me in terms of interest.

The real meat is in the bottom with the leaves on the surface, "the electric" lighting and texture/distortion of the water on the rocks.

Just my two cents!

Also not around any editing software, but I think it could use a touch more contrast as well.

Thanks beavens. I think your post nailed it: I hang on to images OF aesthetically appealing stuff with tooth and claw, even though the image is not strong.

Took some liberties to play a bit with some warp and filter gallery. Might be a candidate for some creative lemonade ... where sky's the limit.

I really like what Kent has done incorporating the rock and the colorful horizon to where it almost seems the shot was taken from a perspective closer down at water level instead of shooting down at the rock.

Definitely - also the processing results in something that looks more like an oil painting than photo which I kinda dig.
