Nice effort - you did a nice job to bring out the sky and still allow the shore of the water to have definition
I'm sure this is a very nice scene when the sun is shining. You've done well to bring out some of the colour on this dull day. However, I think more vibrant colours are needed to give the image more WOW.
This is a lovely photo but seems to be desaturated and somewhat flat. I'd like to see more pop in the colors and more detail in the shadows. It seems a bit too dark given the possibilities in the challenge. 6
I'm afraid the processing of this doesn't work for me - there are noticable halos on the skyline, and at the edge of the lake, and there is an oppresive feel to the overall exposure. That said, the composition is spot on and I would suspect I would really like a straight photo!
