Louie Lake mountain reflection

I was hoping to get some feedback on this picture. It is a three photo panorama.
Is it too dark? Would you lighten up the rock in the foreground? Should I have stepped back a bit to get more of the tree in the left hand side?


Thanks in advance.

It's a tad cooked, but mostly in the shadow blacks. Ease off the saturation sliders a bit. I did some simple levels adjustments at Screen and one at multiply on highly feathered masks to try to open the blacks up a bit but it really needs to be done on the original file. If you are shooting RAW and working it through the RAW editor, try opening up your shadows slider a bit more.
