This shot has gone through some heavy PP although I've tried to keep it looking as natural as can be. An enormous amount of gunk was cloned out of the water. It was rotated slightly so that the moon and its reflection are on a vertical plane. The treeline, especially the part that is being reflected, was below the sun's reach and was pretty dark, so I lightened it using several tools while trying not to let it get too noisy. Sharpened slightly as well (unsharp mask). Adjusted saturation and levels all around.
I'd really like your thoughts on how I did and how it could be improved. I wish I had the original to post but because I shot in RAW and made adjustments in CameraRAW and forgot to backup the original before I made even those changes, I'm without it!
Thanks for looking!
