 Langsett Reservoir. The editing steps were -

Import from raw, pushed up saturation, contrast.
Spot heal sensor dust
Spot heal barbed wire
Dodge and Burn photo
Image - resize (downwards, in 3 steps, sharper on two of them.)

I think this is about the first time that I have used the dodge and burn tools, so it'll be interesting to see how this does.

I think I understand what you were doing with this composition -- the nice tree, wall, and post on the left give it the vertical lines for the portrait orientation. It looks to me like you did a good job with the dodge and burn. Short of reshooting the picture from a position closer to the river, to give that a more vertical orientation, I don't know what you could do to improve this. The way it is, I feel frustrated that I can't see past the tree to where the river is going.

I think you have some bowing from a really wide angle lense, but other than that it is very nice.

Composition is not right. The coast of the river shall start from the lower right.

Interesting composition. The lines of the river seem to be in conflict with the implied lines of the wall and foliage on the left. If there was an interesting subject at their intersection this might work, but as it is, my eye just drifts into the empty corner at the top left.

Bland with little for the eye to come to rest on. Lighting could have made this so much better - try a dawn walk for photography. The alarm clock is the best piece of equipment a photographer can have
