Raj, compared to previous post of yours, did you boost contrast a bit or developed it this way only? I am not sure whether losing a bit of contrast (in water/reflections) would add further to the frame.

I did not boost the contrast but gave it a Silver tone look. But you may be right . Let me rework and post a version

Raj, I liked the feel of dense forest/woods at the back.

You have nicely brought the feel of the untouched forest here.

I am remembering a talk by Nirlep titled 'Hierarchies in seeing' where he explained how landscape photography is avoiding many integral parts of the forest by calling them 'clutter'. It looks like you are questioning that hegemony in this image with all the 'clutter' you have included.

Surprised to see every branch being so distinct n not cluttered in any way!, Raj. Very well made!
