Slash of Light +repost

Hi,
Its been a very long time since I've posted here, because its been a long time since I've done any landscape photography.
Interested in any comments on this one, I'm also well out of practice at post production.
I use LR and PS CC and some of TK's actions.
This was taken in the Labyrinth area of the Cradle Mtn/ Lake St. Clair National park in Tasmania.
I got lucky with the clouds and the light !

Nikon D500
Sigma 10-20mm lens @ 14mm
1/80th @ f16

Beautiful light and reflection. Welcome back into the photography saddle and a fine image to do it.

Great light and reflection of those mountains. Might try opening the shadow areas a little - they look a little blocked up.

Welcome back Neale. This has a lot of dramatic elements with the dark clouds and the beautiful reflection to support that wonderful streak of light.

Neale, it's a great view with some fine light. There's some haloing through the foreground branches that could take a bit more burning in through a luminosity mask.

Welcome back, Neale. The light on the mountains is gorgeous as is the drama in the sky and the reflection is the finishing touch. My only suggestion would be to open up the shadows a little bit; particularly on the left side. Nicely done.

Thanks for your suggestions guys, here's a repost with some re-working of the shadows and an attempt at reducing the haloing in the f/g bushes. A little better ??

Been here myself and I like the feeling you've captured here Neale. I agree wih comments saying the shadows need a little push, in fact the whole image could be a tad brighter, but I wouldn't go too far with it. Nicely done, mate.
