Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

I find this really hard to process because the colour gaumet are mostly middle toned.

Fantastic shot and those clouds and mountains are amazing! Re : processing, with your permission, I had a bit of a play in Photoshop Elements 5.

Using the 'shadows and highlights' tool, I lightened shadows +31, darkened higlights +9, and adjusted midtone contrast -11, then bumped up saturation +5 to compensate.

Please let me know if you want me to remove.

Miliux- Thats an impressive scene and I think youve done a good job capturing it all. I struggle with big views like this and capturing it in the camera. Is that with the new 24mm??

I think the BT*ist version brings a little life to village.

Robert PS- BT*ist- I cant see your flikr page it says its private

It was taken with 24-105L 3 weeks ago. Only just got he 24mm.

I think i just need to saturate the green are a bit more...and then i'll be alright.

I have slightly reprocessed the photo. A bit of cropping, saturation and a tiny more contrast on the mountains.
