Remember to not take salad images.The less congested a scene the more effective it is. Try to not shoot the real touristy areas that everyone else would do. Take about 3 in an area from different POV's. I think if water is involved then use only a lot of lake if you are going for reflection shots. Otherwise pick something of interest near the lake and keep only a bit of water in. Long distance shots will give you a lot of haze if not really a clear day. Least I find that. I don't know Jim these are just a few things I have been trying of late. You will excel at it I know.
