[QUOTE="bobmielke, post: 49317, member: 8952"] Although I "Liked" the photo there are post processing steps that can be taken to improve it's appearance. I must admit it looks like leveling would be a good idea. Also there's a green caste to the highlights of the water that indicate a color balance adjustment is needed. A lot of the water highlights are blown out so either multiple exposures blended into an HDR or bracketing might have worked best to resolve the exposure issues. As far as processing issues RAW shots straight from the camera have no processing done to them at all so sharpening, color balance, contrast and exposure must all be handled by post processing software.
