Ohhhh Yeahhh :-) ... doing the happy dance :-)

My PB and my first "6" ... yeahhhhhh!!! With a photo I didn't think much of, even if I did spend a lot of time in PP.
And no "1", not even a "2" :-)

Thank you for everyone who commented.
I was actually wondering about the forground "shadows", whether to leave them in or "black them out". In the end I decided on a little of both :-)

Glorious rays. And enough shadow detail in the foreground to contrast nicely with the bright sky. Nice photo.

Symmetry and Asymmetry. Very appealing in its simplicity.

the sharp foreground communicates well with its background buttery mirror image.

thanks you. I did have one where the background colours were even softer (not so saturated/intense), but I liked this better :-)

There are wonderful colours in this too. However, it̢۪s the lovely softness of the background that I really appreciate.
