I couldn't find one which, to my eyes, improved the image and I tried several different types of image. I do however use the 'auto' adjustment in Lightroom. I find it can very quickly get me very close to the image I am seeking, usually it's a tad bright and slightly over done in the shadow recovery department, a couple of minor adjustments usually gets me right on the nail. There does seem to a distinct difference between the black and white point sliders in Lightroom, compared with Photoshop's Levels. If I have an image where the levels need adjustment, I go straight into Ps and do my shuffle technique. Way better, Lr seems to try to be clever and as far as I can tell it fudges the adjustment by stretching the levels each end only, instead of simply moving the left or right point. The result from Ps seems way better than using Lr to do that adjustment. Levels are fundamental for a good image. I have to say, I am amazed by the pliability of the D800's NEF's. I took quite a few exposures very early Thursday morning, the image quality and ability to recover dark detail is amazing. The D850 must be magic to work with. I doubt I will afford a D850 but it encourages me to try for a D810 later this year. I know there isn't a lot of difference over the D800 but I feel it will be worthwhile, a lot of small improvements add up.

I understand what you are saying about the reeds. It is the reeds themselves rather than the reflected reeds that is distracting. Have you tried a mask and defocus with Gaussian Blur?

One from yesterday, early morning and the light was to say the least poor. Edit, looks darker on here than on my monitor. Attachment: DSC_3473.jpg (Downloaded 9 times)
