You're welcome, Coachline. It appears to be a good user-friendly program considering that it is free software.
I see you have made your image into your desktop wallpaper - good idea. If it were mine the crop would probably be square to confirm the lake as the centre of interest in the composition but, as Ed writes,"To each his own" - just as some prefer B&W conversions, or a more artistic interpretation of colours.
The software I use for processing images is mainly PaintShop Pro X4. With scenes like these, the camera sees things differently to us, so my aim is usually to try to make the image more realistic, that is - how I imagine human vision would perceive the scene at the time it was captured. For example, this is how the bridge might have looked to me:
Cheers.
