You mention \"every pixel\" sharp ... are you using tilt with your 17L TS-E ... or are these \"straight\" 17mm?
Here\'s a stab @ it with a bit more contrast between the reflected scene in the water and the actual scene. Might be a bit dark for taste, but hopefully it illustrates the concept.
As always, S&P to taste.
The DOF at 17mm f8 is so great that I don\'t need tilt for a shot like this. I did use tilt on the vertical with flowers as they were close enough to touch (probably the shot in question). I also used shift in the above shot to keep the camera level and shift up enough to get some sky. I also have a vertical of this scene.
On your redo, I see what you are doing here. I assume it was a quick pass as the darkening mask on the sky overlaps the mountain. I tried a ND grad here but it did not fit the horizon well so I took it off.
