Not much - levels, sat, slight crop. I like it when it requires this much processing.

Love those rich colors, it brings the photo to life. It might be me, but the horizon looks a tad tilted down to the left.

Yup -- it's nice when it just needs minor color/tone adjustments to clear up the colors. Very pretty scene, well-done.

Maybe tweaked a little too much for my eye. I think I'd like the lower 2/3rd's toned down just a little. The sky and clouds above the main cloud bank are brilliant. I agree with Neil nshapiro about trying to lighten up the pond to get a bit more colour in the reflections off the water. If this can't be achieved then I think I'd crop to just below the the reeds and exclude the pond.

I love the colour in this shot, makes for a nice relaxing mood overall. I agree with nshapiro in that you should crop out the bottom, leaving the reeds, but eliminating the pool of water in the foreground. That would also put your horizon on the 1/3 line, giving a nice pleasing composition.

Great photo.

Wonderful colors. I like the contrasts of the orange and blue. The only thing you might try doing, in addition, is bring out a bit more of the foreground. It's pretty black, and that might be ok for this backlit scene, but if you could get it to "block" less there, it might be good. The pool there draws your eye, but it's pretty dark there. Might even get some colors from that. Or you might crop the bottom, just aabove the pool. Would also move your horizon even closer to the thirds division.

Your editing is great. The photo to begin with was a lovely one, but this has much more impact. I love the orange colour, and the crisp silhouettes.

Well, images that are gorgeous to begin with often don't require much processing :-) What you did here is fantastic!

Sweet edit! You really brought this out wonderfully! Silhouettes are more black, tones are more golden.

Yes - perfect touch with the editing. You took the original and tweaked it just enough to bring out the richness of the scene. Very nice work.

Nice and clean, great job at making it "Claritin-clear"!

I think my favorite part of this is the finely detailed silhouette of the reeds in the foreground and their reflections. Might be nice in a motivational poster or something. Heck, just hanging on the wall.
