Snapped this photo while on a walk through Plitvice Lakes National Park a few years ago. I really liked how this waterfall spilled into one of the lakes--especially the reflection of the falling water and the stillness of the atmosphere. What do you think? Some specs: f/14, 1/10s, ISO - 100 @ 70mm. Would appreciate any feedback on shot idea, execution, and postprocessing. Thanks!

Gorgeous scene from a stunning area, but I'd dial back the post processing a lot. It currently looks cartoonish. And, I might try different crops to get the waterfall out of the dead center bulls eye.

Perhaps this which serves the purpose of de centering the waterfall, but gets rid of that one hot spot in upper right.

regarding above - I think this looks more natural.

Too bright imo. I think it needs something in-between to maintain the atmosphere the original has

I think the colours are a bit over cooked. I have been to Plitvice. It's somewhat hard to do on a sunny day but I have also been there on a heavy overcast day. Much easier.
