Overall a nice image Norm but I think it could be leveled.

IMO there is too much water in the FG, I would crop the image above the little blue balls on the left. Very tranquil scene

Hi Norm,

I agree with Binnur about the crop.

I think this is a difficult scene to get the illumination of all the elements in balance. If it were mine, I would be doing some pp, but before going down that route, do you have access to any post processing software?

Edited as suggested - thanks.
My PP software [in which I’m very much a novice] is GIMP

Getting better Norm...I particularly like the cloud formations. Could do more but I will not push it...I just wish you could have changed your crop to 1200px on the longest side instead so we have more to look at when expanded in Lightbox...otherwise, I like this shot...

Edit looks a lot better to me.

Do you have a little bit of over exposure in the clouds? Top left corner area.

If it is in the original image there probably isn't a lot you can do about it now; although selectively toning down that area might still be worth a try.

My bold............the only edits I've done are levelling and crop as suggested, so it must be in the original image.
I think the clouds were thinner at that point, so I've captured what was there.

The crop looks better Norm

That's an interesting capture of the reservoir. It warrants another visit when there are sailors on it perhaps ?
