About the Image(s)
During a visit at Lake George, NY a few years ago, I took early morning photos on this pier and again in the early evening, and honestly, I don’t remember at which time of day this photo was taken. Poor overcast lighting conditions existed each throughout the day.
Using Lightroom Classic Global adjustments; used light balance selector, Dehazed, applied color grading. Applied local masks to the sky, mountains, water, pier piles and deck adjusting contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks. Applied a Global color calibration adjustment. Sharpened image and flipped image horizontally. Applied a very subtle glow filter from Color Efex Pro plug-in app. In Photoshop I removed the lamp post at end of the pier. All comments and recommendations will be appreciated.
Full frame camera on tripod with shutter release cable. 24-70mm lens set at 35mm, 26 sec. exposure at f/22, ISO 100.

I like the fact that you have flipped the image, so the bridge automatically leads into the distance. By changing the colors and the long exposure, the image now radiates calm.
Your elaborate way of editing has paid off, I would submit the image to a competition.
