Bouncing up

I like the subject but think it's a bit overexposed. My suggestion would be to use a polarizer, which will make the skies bluer and reduce the glare around the clouds. Also, why is your exposure so short (1/800)? I would've shot this at around 1/125 and used a much smaller aperture like f22. That would've given you greater depth of field and made the mountains clearer. Seems like a very beautiful place....where is it?

Thanks for the tips

The image is from the Nepal Himalayas; it's a mountain-lake. I only had a point-and-shoot then. That's when i realized i'll need a camera with manual controls, so i just got one after returning home
