This image takes al little time to sink in and that's the charm too.

Oh, I like this better, Denise. Looks sharper and more contrasty. Good reflection capture! Helen

Denise, I like this unique view of Yosemite and what you did to enhance it. Good advice and well done. My eye is really drawn to the reflection here. If the grass gets too light, I'm thinking it would compete for attention...so, I prefer it like it is now, identifiable but serving as part of the "darker frame" above and below your lovely centerpiece.

Roberta, I like the changes you made. I knew it was too light but wasn't sure how to change that because when I adjusted the brightness the grass was too dark. I will play with it tomorrow and see if I can come close to your image. Thank you so much, this is just the type of help I was hoping to get ;-))) Denise

Denise,
Lovely reflection at Yosemite. I tried a few things in PhotoShop that can also be done in PSE if you like. I lowered the brightness by -37 and added contrast at +2. I also used the dodge tool to lighten the grass since the other adjustments darkened the grass quite a bit. Take a look and let me know your thoughts:
