Using Paint Shop Pro X2.
Straightened the horizon.
Inceased saturation slightly.
Resized for TL.
Sharpened.
Added a border.

Hi Derek,
Great reflections of the clouds but I cant help thinking that you should have used some tone mapping on the trees in the distance to bring out a bit of colour in them and the clouds to address the slight overexopsure. Great shot tho. TFS

Hello Derek,
Fantastic summer picture, colourful and bright... I like this calm and peaceful atmosphere, saturation of colours is really nice, sky is correctly exposed. The reflections on the water just boost the composition adding more impact. Well done, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

Hi Derek,
well worth taking a detour to find this fine view of the Tweed.The sky is evidence of how nice a day it was,l like how you placed it's reflection in the river,surprised at how clear the water is,a strong composition,not sure if I would have desaturated that foreground rock a little,just my own feeling not a critique as such.

Yeeey summer is once again here... Great colors and composition Derek... the sharpness is perfect :)
Amazing work :) so TFS :)

allye :)

Well composed landscape Derek, love the balance of the shot with the reflection of the clouds working perfectly.

The polarizer has certainly done the trick too, as the detail in the foreground water is great. (what kind of polarizer do you use?)

Cracking shot, of the Borders at their best.

Hi Derek,

Great POV on this shot. You've framed it well with the trees and their reflections on either side of the clouds and their reflections. Nice and sharp with great DOF.
