Here is one of Lake Tekapo, located on the south Island of New Zealand.

i like it! but the rock on the right and left is distracting from the beutiful water and mountains.

Beautiful photo. I agree about the rock to the bottom right. It distracts the eye from the wonderful view of the rocks under the water.

The rock doesn't bug me. It might've helped to see more of it so that it feels sort of balanced with the one on the left. It's a great shot though. I love this view. The land seems so peaceful and unspoiled.

Thank you all for your comments, I will take another look and see if I can get rid of the rock on the right, and the one on the center. I kind of like the one on the left...

Wineman-- nice capture. It is an inspiring scene and I thank you for posting it. Was this a sunset or sunrise photo?

The one of the left is fine. Is that a little rock in the center or is it some kind of critter?

I'd also increase the contrast a bit in the foreground water. But I'd have to play with it to see how it looked. Maybe darken up the sky with a NG gradient overlay also.

Thanks for the kind works Ryan, this is at sunset.

Jeff, the one on the center is also a rock, in the original there is more contrast, for some reason, when uploading to smugmug, all my photos seem very pale and lacking of contrast.
