The water is an integral part of the image's success. The water is essential to the composition and exposure and even the concept. So don't make the water a simple "fill" element. It's the centerpiece of the shot. Try these images on land and they aren't even half as good. Period. I think that the water “complimenting” the image is way off.

I also increased the brightness of certain areas of the image based on the colour, to get an overall nice feel to my black and white image, done in Lightroom. Hope that helps someone! Thanks, Chris In this top image of a black and white / Duotone landscape I used the reflection of the water to complement the sky and the background. I also increased the brightness of certain areas of the image based on the colour, to get an overall nice feel to my black and white image, done in Lightroom.

Hope that helps someone!

Thanks,

Of course , if the weather isn't quite right you can always cheat and use Photoshop to add a reflection http://castlepictures.com/eilean.html . The water in the loch at Eilean Donan Castle was too choppy so I copied the top half of the image , inverted it and added it to the bottom half that’s an excellent point .
