Description
Edit: A bigger version as you guys wanted!This one is from the same morning as my previous one. I stood up at 5:30.
I really like how the sun was illuminating the mist of the morning and the reed in the foreground caught my eye.
This picture was hard too expose as there was a major difference between the lightness of the foreground and the background.
When I uploaded this picture to my PC I imported it in Lightroom. I was very disappointed with the way LR interpreted this picture. It was incredibly dark and even in the camera correction menu I couldn't get it right. So what I did was importing the .NEF-file to CaptureNX and than I imported it in Lightroom again as a 16-bit .TIFF-file. Now I could get back the details I wanted by using the fill light slider. I also warmed the shot by almost 50K.

Nice shot! I'm not very good at expressing what I exactly like about it though, but I'm able to share what I don't like so much, but therefore not written as critique: The very bottom of the picture is very dark and there is no counterpart for this in the picture. I can see this is coming from the framing where you choose the horizon to be at about two-fifths height and not in the middle. The other thing I noticed is the very noticable digital noise on the trees in the middle of the picture. This could however also be an artefact of compression, yet it's distracting to me.
For what it's worth... my 2 cents on it

Thanks a lot for your constructive comment. I must say that the foreground doesn't look that dark on my screen. But I fully agree with you about the digital noise. Though this shot was made on ISO 100 the amount of noise was real high. I think that it is because of the major difference in the dark and light areas. In Lightroom I used the recovery slider to increase the DR of the scene which might have increased the noise even more.
I am very thankful for your comment!!

watch your image size I am supposed to actually scrap this, as per FAQ #3: Is there a minimum size requirement for deviations being submitted to the Photography galleries?
