I really like this package. Nice job of correctly exposing the water shots. Sometimes those are hard to nail, with the reflection and all.
I chimp for a white highlight around water. Everything else goes dark, but I can recover the information and it bumps up the saturation.
The problem down here is atmospheric affect. Between the humidity and frequent logging burns, the air is thick and blue. It was really a problem on this lake because the lake is so wide that the particles are held aloft all day as the lake evaporates.
You can tell that in your first shot. The air looks thick above the lake.
THe way the light is on that first pic almost makes it look like an ocean beach!
