Thanks, Walt. I think your suggestion is right on the mark. I like that palm tree, and I climbed over a little hill to get an angle that would place it next to the best part of the sunset. Trying to lighten the tree also lightened the crap at the bottom, and took some of the drama out of the clouds. I didn't want to over-process the image, as I wanted it to retain the appearance it had to my eye. Your suggestion leaves the tree in silhouette, which I like, and eliminates the clutter without dulling the clouds. I like it.
Thanks for looking, and for your very helpful suggestion.
