Its been a long long long time since I've been on 365 and I've put down my camera for a little over 9 months. I've since been on a trip to Hawaii packed with a new camera (Fuji X-T2) but I know that both my photography skills and editing skills have atrophied quite a bit.
The image is a photo stitch of 9 separate images taken in portrait mode, cropped, exposure change, curve modification, bringing down the highlights, slight selective colour use and a gradient map to clean up the colour transitions.
Critiques welcome please as its midnight and I know I've missed a lot of things out in the editing but for the life of me, just can't see anything obvious at this time of night. The image is best viewed large...
I think I would crop a bit of the foreground as it is trying to dominate. I would also try to bring out some of the warm color in the sky.
Beautiful scene. Really nice job on the photo stitch
Nice view and good job! I am the happy owner of XT2 as well).
I would make sky more dramatic, and lightened the water a little. Would also crop right side till grass roof of the shed.
I second a vote for trimming a little of the patio foreground. It distracts from the details farther out and also--i think--contributes to the a little left over dizziness feel that I get. But very impressive work!

Thanks for the critique everyone...
Totally agree about the crop being too low - i've pushed the crop up and did some work on the sky. I've decided not to make the sky warmer - it was cooler on the day and I want to stay true to the experience
