This is an image you haven't seen before and I was about to bin until I duplicated it twice, ran it through photomatix and then finished it off in lightroom and neat image.
I've only had lightroom for a couple of days and still getting used to it, but love it to bits....any other tips would be greatly appreciated to help me find my way round it quicker.

Beautiful Scene Mike,,Not coming up sharp on my screen mate.....Regards John
Nicely done. Like the sunlit top of Haystacks reflected in the lake.

Whatever you have done it has produced a stunning result
Seems sharp enough on my screen
A great shot of one of the most popular views in the Lakes
But Oh so different
strangely enough i did thet just recently ''on the clyde'' with an image copied it twice then run it through the same program and bingo liked the result not quite as stunnign as your Mike nice one

Lovely shot, Mike.
I really enjoy these lakeside images of yours.
I think in this case the image would benefit from a little more contrast/bite, if you don't mind me saying.
Try duplicating the layer and set the blend mode to:
Multiply; opacity 25 - 35%
or
Overlay; opacity 35 - 55%
or
Soft Light; opacity 45 - 75%
See what you think! 
You may or may not agree. Personally, I think all of these would give your image that little something extra 
Got to admit, I never get tired of these - wish I lived close enough to try some of my own!
Cheers
Bill
Thanks for that Bill. Unfortunately I am without PS at the moment. Just working with lightroom otherwise I would give your suggestion a go. I have been working on it again tonight and the result is a very slightly more punchy result but I can only upload so many of these. Once back up and running with PS, will give your suggestion a whirl
Mike
