For me it is a bit over exposed but I like it overall

The light on surface compared to the sky is off. It gives the impression of 2 images.

agree to over exposed, maybe, if it doesn't look too bright on your monitor it's time for a new one, at very least re-calibration is in order.

Very typical southeast to upper midwest US lakeside bank, where in midsummer, the rocks are bleached almost white. Looks to be midday lighting from your shadows. Great composition!

I will yield to your superior knowledge of that type of terrain...here everything is white with blue shadows and it's affecting my perception...

Indeed, the light is a bit artificial. Too much GI perhaps, and what if you change the atmo back to default?

[Lady of the Lake]

Here is my re-do.  Atmosphere is back to almost default.  Lowered the GI settings.  Deleted the water and started over. :-)    Did a bit of post work  on the color contrast.

Thanks for all the comments.  On to the next.

Over all it seems noisier starting with the water. I liked your first water better myself. the Default atmo is better I think. Maybe woulsd have ben better without the post work as it seems too contrasty.

water scale wise is too small....looks like a lot of low level wind is blowing across it just increase the scale and lower the roughness
use less density on the clouds too....
