My contribution is an image I recently stumbled across while going through my files. I didn't think I had come away with a good shot from Myer's Creek/Gold Bluffs Beach in Oregon when I was there in June. The shot for which I was trying the hardest certainly did NOT work out (my GND filter was scratched and it proved impossible to shoot into the sun without dozens of bits of flare -- and I don't know how to exposure blend effectively). I had slept in my car over night and set my alarm for sunrise. I arose to dense fog and took an obligatory, and casual, shot or two. It was one of these that I stumbled across recently and decided to work on. This is a bit of a draft in progress, but what the heck I'll share.
It's well worth sharing!
I generally like the composition, but I think it would look better if you got more of the foreground; the water mirror is a bit too close to the lower frame for my taste.
It might also work if you cropped off a bit of the left, creating more symmetry between the rock on the left and the hill on the right.
The contrasts are lovely, but it looks like you've over-cooked your local contrast adjustments, see the halo around the prominent rock on the left.
My next image is from the subway in Rome, taken on my InterRail trip this autumn. I'd decided to catch some typical graffiti from each city I visited, but sometimes I got something else than I was looking for.

I'm a bit uncertain whether I should add more fill light (yes, I've tried), I'll try it in print first.
