This one I took at a very quiet mountain lake. You can have a look at the original photo here, which I

> cropped & resized
> despeckled
> sharpened
> removed one stone
> added a very slight oil paint effect
> increased gamma a little
> framed.

I was not sure about the framing. This one makes it look a little "heavy & severe" somehow. I like this framing aswell, which makes it look more "light & friendly" I feel.

Very still and serene - I like the mood and your composition. The fading blue of water is looking quite good here.
Black frame in my opinion often works fine and is working well here as well.

nice, but for my opinion, it's more water color than photo!!
too much photoshop..
the original is 10 times much better!
By the way , I love the compo very much. ;-)

very wonderfull picture, the frame close perfectly this beautifull photo!

Great mood with fantastic colours. The blue adds a lot of tranquility to the scene. The stone you have removed really helped on the composition.
Great!

This a kind of pic that make me really relaxed,cause it hasn't no border,no limits and for its static appearence.
Bravo

I found your original much better than the doctored photo; aside from cropping, I would not have retouched it. Great photograph though. Conveys restfulness and a feast for the eyes! Nicely done.
