I like it.
Unusual crop/perspective that I might not have chosen.

Nice light. I love what's going on in the left upper part of the image with the mist and the warm light on the trees.

On the other hand, I am not sure that the bottom 20% bring value.

Cheers,
Bernard

Yes. I had a great time in the tablelands.

Yes some great photographic grist for the mill up there.
We stayed for some of our trip just on the southern edge of that National Park in which Lake Eacham is situated.
Unfortunately for us it was so windy, rainy, and cold that I cannot remember even picking my camera up in the time that we were there!
You seem to have had the better part of the weather.

I agree; it's beautiful.  I wonder if lower contrast in the bottom 20% would help.

I agree. I feel a bit closed IB, not bring able to see the big picture off to the left which, with the "atmosphere" might just be of more visual interest. It leaves me wanting more; perhaps that's a good thing.

The complaints make it clear you haven't cropped it enough, Jeremy.

Quite the opposite, in this case, Russ!

No kidding. I thought cropping was the solution to any problem.

I don't want to crop it, but I've added a couple of masks in LR to try Bruce's suggestion and to darken the area of reflected sky. I think it's an improvement.

It's a beautiful shot of reflected images, but it's been done a thousands times before. The catchword here is DIFFERENT!

Maybe I have had one or two gin&tonics too many, but I would not have bothered to RAW convert this one in the first place if I had happened to shoot it in the first place.

In general I have to say I admire all the people who bother to give encouraging and favorable comments for pictures which really are not worth the bandwidth.

Not aimed to OP (only), but to 80% of the images presented here for review.

Sorry to be rude, but someone should put the cat on the table (like we say in these parts).

Well, that's me told. I'm not offended by you, Petri, since I have no reason to suppose that your opinion is worth such a response.

You have some interesting snaps on your Flickr site, but it's fairly obvious that landscape isn't your forte. It does appear, though, that you embody the maxim that the best is the enemy of the good. A photograph doesn't have to be perfect, indeed it doesn't have to be very good (in your terms, worth bothering to convert from raw) in order to provide interest, in order for comments on it to be educational and to help the photographer to improve his technique. This is a forum in which critiques are invited, not a gallery.

Your arrogant, dismissive attitude and de haut en bas contempt is unhelpful. I draw, and will continue I hope to draw, encouragement from constructive comments. That's what this site - at least, this area of the site - is for.
