thank you km, plumeriagrl and Steve for your comments. I was surprised my little camera could capture direct sun like that :)

On the original shot (original size) you can see a lot more detail and it doesn't look as bloory.

The good and bad thing about downloading smaller pictures is that you can't see all the detail. I actually perfer this view to the first as you can see the vastness of the lake and beautiful shadows of the trees. What beautiful scene.
