This is a small rapids here in Southwest Florida.
It was early in the morning as you can see the light coming in from right to left.
I did minimal edits for my final version.
I reduced the highlights in the top left of the image and along the right side of the image.
There was also a blurred branch in the bottom left of the image that I removed. I thought it was a bit distracting.
I feel like the edges are very busy however it does sort of create natural framing for the image.
I tired cropping the image into a 1 to 1 aspect ratio but didnt like the result.
