but prefer V2 today

I also prefer the filtered image.
However, the dreamy effect you seek has, to my eye, been at the expense of the image as a whole. Have you considered gradating the blur as the eye travels into the picture - just to get a 3-D effect?
The mod I have posted gives an idea of what I mean. Created a layer with quite a heavy blur. Created a mask and painted out the blur starting at 75% opacity of the paintbrush for the foreground, gradating the opacity as the eye travelled further into the frame.

Beautiful scene here Lillian i had to put my glasses on to look for a creature or animal lol. V2 all day long for me
A very beautiful scene, Lillian, and think the soft, dreamy effect in V1 suits it, and has to be my fave of the two

Another fine image from this beautiful location, I must say the effect you've applied in v1 has worked rather well
