Just for fun, I'd like to see an enumeration of what's actually wrong with the original, beyond the lens hood problem. It might put us all on the same starting page?

To me, there's a lot "wrong" with the shot (camera focus, vignette, composition, etc.), but the most glaring thing is a lack of meaning, or story. As this was one of the first shots of the series, I rushed into it without fully understanding what I wanted to capture besides the "everything". In essence, the shot doesn't have a story to tell which, to me, makes it boring, flat and uninspired. You can see what I was attempting; near rocks for detail and drama, leading to silky water effect and finally distant landscape and sky for drama. Unfortunately, this photo has too many rocks making a jumbled mess, with water so silky that it's become uninteresting smoke and a distant landscape that just doesn't hold interest.
All of this is my personal judgement of my own work, which is by necessity, very harsh. Unfortunately for me, I've begun moving beyond just taking a nice photo, to wanting to tell a story within each photo. I don't often succeed in doing that (YET!), but with each new photo I take I think I'm getting closer to what I hope to accomplish.

Very nice! Did you use any plugins to create this?
