Default Snowdon - what tweeks, would make this?

By the way, I can't just dash back and take it again, just wondering what I could maybe change post-processing to add more impact?
Some mixed responses for this shot which surprised my biased eyes!

Sorry it's just an awesome picture, I can find very little room for improvement. I was hoping someone with more experience than me might pipe up first!
Just for conversations sake I was going to nit pick about the non standard crop, but then I read that it is a stitched panorama.
The colors are a bit muted, but then it's Wales, lol! (I live in California)
It took me some time to find the little person on the path, I think it's a little difficult to figure out the scale without some closer foreground...
Lovely pic!

Thanks Doc,

If you view it Large you can see all the people heading up the ridge from the right to the summit. Scalewise, you are right, but it's tricky from where I was. It was from a ridge 750m from the summit, 200ft below. I tried going wide angle, but the distortion wrecked it, so went for two 18mm shots instead.

The wet ground shone from the bright sun after a heavy shower.Glorious place.

Oh wow! I just went back to flickr and checked out the large sizes! You're right theres tons of people! Too bad my desktop is down and I am viewing this on my 12 inch laptop!
It's a good thing that the largest guy in the shot is wearing red!
In fact, maybe the neatest tweak you could do would be to digitally paint him and the rest of the people in slightly brighter colors, to make them stand out? As is you really have to work, in the small sizes to see the people. Of course if it was blown up to a 16X40"...!

I think it's great as it is. If you intensify the colours you'll destroy it.
