Default New here and would like your critique

I took the photo 3 years ago (in Croatia) and I was playing around with post processing last night. There are two black spots that need to be removed but other than that I would like to have your opinion on anything. This is my first post on DPS. Currently I'm at work and don't have the original which I can post later today. Thanks!

Original is now on Flickr next to revised edit. Feel free to edit and re-post.

Croatia from Castle
era: Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 6 mm
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Red-eye reduction
ISO Speed: 75

**I see now where the photo info is listed on flickr, thanks windrider**

I really like the composition of this picture. However i would find it much more appealing with a rich color scheme. It feels like the place is deserted vs. a place I would want to visit.

Do you have this image in full color?

Yes I really like the color better. This shot now has the character that I would want to jump into it.

Nice!

Yes! I have to agree! The 2nd shot with all the color is much more interesting and inviting to me. The composition is spot on.
