Is it me being cantankerous or is soft water getting overdone in the way selective colouring was used
Not as bad as HDR...
Very very rarely done well thoughAlso not true.
Done well it can be very effective.

If you can tell it's HDR then it's over done.Very very rarely done well though
This, I'm not saying water should always be done with a long exposure, but it can arguably better represent what we see than a freeze frame which can look very unnatural.Sharp frozen water rarely looks good and TBH that is not how we see the world.

What's the alternative? Sharp frozen water rarely looks good and TBH that is not how we see the world. Like everything there are degrees and it is another tool in the tool box. I can never get my head around these binary good/bad threads, it's a bit like saying hammers are being over done, we should use screwdrivers instead and reminds me of

I am guilty of this type of photo -I really like the minimalist look often associated with it and admit I am slightly stuck in a rut with them.
I follow quite a few photographers who excel at this style of photography and have seen less and less over the last year or so, so maybe the trend is passing.
I stick with it myself as I still feel I haven't reached the level I would like to but again admit I am running out of locations to visit so maybe it's time to hang up the 10 stop or at least put it aside for a while.
Maybe you need a familiar location in really good light (not necessarily either bright, nor sloping, but one that makes it look interesting) and re-shoot?
I just don't like landscapes full stop. So I'm probably not the best person to comment...
