James, this is a very peaceful and inviting scene with the waterway leading my eyes into the distance. The blue sky behind the group of trees on the right is brighter than everywhere else along the horizon and that small water area in the upper right is notably brighter than the sky it’s reflecting. Small items in a lovely scene.

Mark, The brightness in the upper right is where the sun will appear in less than 20 minutes . I tried too balance the brightness difference and wasn’t pleased with the result. I will admit that my post processing needs some work and the lack of a large monitor isn’t helping . Thank you for the comments-always welcomed.
