Hi Jose
You have a beautiful landscape photo here, but unfortunately it is totally messed up by your noise reduction software. Sorry I am not trying to be harsh, but I am just trying to be honest with you to assist and help you to avoid the same pitfall in future.
All the indications are there that this photo actually had nice sharp details, but the (I assume) NoiseWare program robbed a lot of that detail. That program does wonders for some photos and other photos it just can not handle and does more damage than any good. Look at the patch of water in the bottom centre for example. On the left of the patch you can see nice details, but the centre area of the patch is smooth as a mirror. That is the area the software grabbed and not just removed noise but also wanted detail. So one can continue through the rest of the photo and notice all those areas that were adversely affected. Also the colour was over brightened adding more fuel on the fire.
I have done a workshop just to try and correct the colour/lighting issue so you can see what I mean. Unfortunately I can not do anything about the lost detail, but I hope you like it anyway.
Good effort though and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Jose,

I agree with some of what Loot has already told you. I'm not sure if it was noise reduction that caused the problem. There are definitely some blurred areas. I also did a workshop, but I tried to bring out more of the serenity of the scene. It is a beautiful place!. I did saturate the colors without making them too harsh. See what you think! : )

I love the colors in this scene and you chose a lovely composition.

Thanks for Sharing.
