Went to Caddo Lake this weekend to gets some early spring shots of the channels. This picture is one of my favorites from the trip but I am open any further suggestions on the post processing. Let me know what you think.

Great subject, but the sky is just too dull here--if you crop this as a pano it makes a wonderful reflection shot without the sky. Just needs to be sharpened for web--there are plenty of resources here on that topic, or just search for web sharpening and have at it!

The color of the trees are nice and the comp is good. I agree with the sky and the sharping.

I agree about the sky and sharpening also. I think the Cypress trees have such great colors and texture/shape that you really need to get them closer, and bigger in the frame.

Great subject and nice composition. The sharpness could be better - if you use Photoshop you can take a look at my script to downsize and sharpen images in one step (link in my signature).

I love these powerful trees at Caddo and need to get back up there soon. The warm light brings out the reds in the trunks nicely here.
