Really nice view and the reflection is awesome. I also like the colors. One tad complaint is the stones next to the river looks a bit HDRish, so I would add some contrast there.

No HDR, they are a fairly flat gray. I could add some local contrast there. This is time where the 14 stop wide dynamic range of the D800 and Sony sensors comes into play. Because it is so wide, we don't get the blocked up areas that we are used to seeing gojng back to the slide film days with just 4 to 5 stops and older sensors with less than 12 stops.

Man, I just love this!
Sweet light on the Castle!
She's probably looking a little whiter now after Sunday's snow....
Know the area very very well (and where this was taken from)....and those rocks look true to me.

Looking at it now it looks better more natural, unless you changed it already, I would leave it as is.

I did not change the picture, it is still and will remain what I originally posted.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I do not find the stone color objectionable. I have been in areas like this with the same light and that is the appearance the light creates....IMHP...:) Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.

I looked at it on a different monitor so it looked slightly off, but now on my main monitor it looks fine so like you said, I would leave it.

Beautiful. The fg rocks and reflection, as well as the light on the mountain make this a stunning image.
