I'm diggin' the composition here that places the point of rocky shore you're standing on, aimed directly at the water between the horizon trees. Gee... almost like you did it... on purpose :o) A nicely composed image, Paul, but unfortunately too dark in the shadowed areas. I brought a copy into Photoshop and messed with the levels so I could see what's over there... lot's of bushes and their reflections in the water, the channel over there being a little slimmer than the one on the left.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Yeah I tried to remove the shadows in lightroom, did not like the results, really grainy on the right, I do not have Photoshop, did it improve it dramatically, I have considered buying the program
