Forgive me Jon, but the image seems blurry, there is lack of sharpness. I suspect that the pp workflow and/or sharpening technique you used may have been the culprit. I have tried doing a WS using Luko's technique of sharpening but it did not result in an improvement. If you can post the original in the WS, it would be a good opportunity to assess my observation.

On the plus side, the composition is classic. There is sufficient details on the f/g from the vegetation, the curve of the water is emphasized, and the well defined clouds drape the scene quite well.

Best regards,
Danilo

Hi Jon

Great POV and nice composition, wonder how you found that?
But what happened to the focus here, shame cause it could have been a very nice shot.

Hi Jon,
Not up to your usual good standard with focusing, as Danilo has tried to sharpen and failed you could try some pp work and use textures as I think this would look brilliant done like an oil painting on canvas. Again as noted the composition is classic and the whole image is in use i.e. no blocks of large colour to distract the eye It is a shame that you did not lower the shutter speed as you sugested or used a tripod but this is an image that is worth spending the time on to improve.
Cheers
Bri

Hi Jon,
no need to repeat what others have already noted,I will mention, that due to this image being an HDR I take it you took more than one capture,& you had some movement while taking the others,so there could be a good chance that one may be in focus & worth reposting, as you have captured the scene with a strong & interesting composition.
Regards
Ron

Hello Jon.
Well composed picture and good idea to show this view like that.
Sharpenning in camera will be better I think.
All perfect exept sharpness.
