Thoughts on this? Processing mostly.

Looks Stephen Kingish to me. Not bad, just different.

I like it, but I think it needs the 'Tide' treatment, you know, make the whites white!

Better?

The house is cool but I might have used some kind of graduation to keep the sky a little bit dimmer.

I think so.

I like it, but I think the water in the lower left and right corners needs to be a bit brighter. It's a lovely rendering of a nice scene.

Thanks. I tired lighting those sections up but with the water blurring the tree's reflection it's just a dark patch of nothing so It didn't work so well.

I kinda like the first (original) edit the best. I mean, a lake house in black in white screams, "Friday the 13th" to me! Personally, I think darker the better, and I like that the water is dark in all the areas in which the house is not reflected. :thumbup:

Technicalities aside, this is lovely. I love the composition! Perfect!

I like the original, it reminds me of the cottages around here many many moons ago.

Like the original. This is beautifully focused, and composed.
