Morning1

Morning1 or morning2 ?

I like this one better, because the detail and colors on the foreground make it more interesting. It's like we're right there looking down at the water and rocks at our feet. There are also some interesting cloud reflections on the water. I think it still needs work on doing the gradient a little more subtly.

I would say this one for the same reasons as above. Maybe a step or 2 to the right would have included more of that reflection which is quite impressive.

I like this one better! The clarity in the water adds to the image!

I have uploaded a new version : morning 3

More reflections from the sky, but I can't understand what You mean by "I think it still needs work on doing the gradient a little more subtly", are You referring to "curves"?

What I meant was that the lightening of the image seems to me to occur too abruptly so it looks like there is a dark area in the upper third (mostly on the right). Try to make the transition to the lightened area a little smoother and spread over a longer area. Hope that makes sense.
