Great subject & good composition. On my monitor it looked very subdued (low contrast & darker than the shadows might indicate). I opened it up in CS2 & saw the histogram was very biased to the left.
Looking @ my new PDML mouse pad for directions, <VBG> decreased the white level to 194 & viola, a much improved exposure IMHO. ;+} >Anyway, I added all that because I assume it happens to others too. I've gotten to the point in those situations where I'll just look around, enjoy what's there & in most cases not take an image.
