very nice image...

only two minor details.....the horizon at the upper edge of the frame needs a crop with a slight rotation.....and the second is purely a matter of personal taste, but the rocks are too contrasty and have lost some detail in the shadows.....

thanks.....

Thanks for your input! I didn't notice the rotation issue until you pointed it out. I'm going to work with this some more tomorrow and see what I can do with it. Any suggestions how to bring out the detail in the rocks?

I know in Photoshop CS3 theres a tool called Shadows&Highlights in Image-> Adjustments. That would bring the detail out with ease. Otherwise, you'd probably have to use the tones curve to make it happen.

I'm using Paint Shop Pro as I don't have Photoshop yet, but I found a similiar tool: Adjust -> Brightness & Contrast -> Highlight/Midtone/Shadow. It seems to do the trick. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

OK. Here's a newly tweaked version, which I like much better!
