Vanilla Frosting + pano

Shot a batch of images in RAW for the first time yesterday, then processed in PSE. I found this nice little reservoir/spillway with a house overlooking it (to come) on the way to my printer, and experimented a bit. Was so surprised when the first RAW image came up in Elements. Wow. Can't imagine I'll be shooting in anything but RAW when able to from now on.

Focused this one just on the water itslef, softened some of the brights spots just a very little, other normal stuff. D-60, ISO-100, 1/4th second, f-9.0, 55mm, CPL. Thanks for any C&C, larger posted.

Bill, the lower 2/3 of this image has a nice look. I'd try cropping this and turning it into a panorama.

Agreed Neven, thanks! I noticed that after I posted it as well, thanks for confirming to my eye. Here I cropped below the road line above, and also took out some of the FG water. I definitely like the pano-ish version better.
