Early morning mountain reflections.

So peaceful.

The background is beautiful but the lower 1/4th containing the rocks is distracting. That portion can easily be CAFed (content aware-filled).

Thank you Eric,Francois and Rajan.

Rajan, I'll definitely try to improve the lower 1/4 of the frame,.... If not, I'll see if cropping the bottom 1/4 would make an improvement.

If you focus stacked it, it might be less distracting. Also to me the clarity is a bit high, the detail in the rocks cascades feels a bit distracting as the pattern is our central focus here. I'd considering adjusting the detail slider more blurry, and cropping into the pattern.

*edit* - after posting this rendition I like it better with the foreground perhaps. I think I just find it distracting from a technical standpoint as it's not focus stacked.

Yes I agree.  The foreground, even if it was in focus, doesn't add anything to an exceptional background.  Much prefer maddog's version. FWIW.

Maddog, Churly,

Yes, absolutely! your input is spot on. 
I'll make adjustments accordingly

Thanks so much to you both.
