Peter,
You're original image seemed excellent and dramatic, although a bit dark/muddy in the trees and in the shadow of the channel along the right hand side. The re-do goes bright and jangly everywhere, loses contrast and looks to be very oversharpened by comparison.
Both are being viewed on my calibrated monitor.
I took a copy of your original JPEG and made a very slight edit opening up the shadow areas only with a Curves Adjustment Layer and a mask. I'll send that to you for your evaluation.

I'm home now and can see this on my CRT monitor, now it is really dark looking compared to how I saw it on an LCD at work. I made a new version using the shadow/highlight adjustment in PS CS, it has lost contrast and is not as nice in some areas, but there is detail and tone in the trees.

-----Original Message----- From: Bruce Dayton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Just a bit less contrast perhaps or at least opening up the shadow areas a bit might be nice.
