The branches hanging down in the foreground spoil the composition, but the water scene is good practise. I shot these in TIFF - the FZ20 doesn't do RAW output. The camera saves a JPG along with each TIFF but, comparing the two, I can see no difference in quality - at least, not enough to justify the 14MB cost for each TIFF - so I won't bother using this option again!
Back on the PC, I cleaned up a colour cast, corrected the contrast levels, sharpened and then applied a very light red graduated filter to warm up the tree colour.
