This is the idea that I mentioned in my note.

I rotated the photo 3 degrees to the right. This resulted in some blank spots in each corner. I cloned back sky and water into these spots. I then cloned out the lens flare spots in the sky.

It is just to show what I meant not a perfect job.

First I adjusted the highlights in levels by searching for the white point. Second I set a small curve in cruves to boast the contrast in both shadows and highlights. I cropped the photo in such a way that I feel that the composition is more dynamic. Now the rocks lead the eye better to the tree and clouds. I also sharpened the photo a little.

I adjusted the highlights so that the flowers became white i.o. the slight grey in the original.

I adjust the blue color by removing the magenta hue. It still might need further adjustments

As I mentioned this one is more for fun. The only improvement that really is WS worthy is the sharpness and contrast. I opted for a different composition where the reed acts more as an anchor leading the eye onward to the fence and farm.

Just a different crop to postion the subject away from the center. Adjustment on levels, highlights only, added more shadow and USM.

The original histogram showed a large gap in the higlights. By adjusting the higlight slider in levels untill you meet the data the photo becomes much brighter. Plus I added some sharpness

I felt that the photo was split in to two parts caused by the bridge and central placement of the horizon. I cropped part of the reflection and added a little sky for some 'breathing room'.

Maybe not perfectly to see, but I added a bit more sharpness to the photo. (USM 100/0.3/0) Best is to mask the OOF areas.

I wanted to make the colors more bold since they looked a little flat. I added saturation +20 and added contrast by giving it a dose of USM (10/100/0)
