Was wondering it it was still too dark. I am not a photoshopper, but I could try some of that in Elements. Maybe. I can only do levels, actually, I don't think I can do white points in levels (if someone knows better, pls correct me).
I gave up on PS years ago. Too costly to upgrade, too steep a learning curve. Thanks, Ken, I'll look into it. Anyway, I'm always flattered when someone post processes one of my images. Marnie :-) I looked at the metadata, it's a bit soft because I shot it at f4.0. I always forget I can adjust ISO too. In a message dated 12/20/2012 12:42:39 P.M.

I got a much more pleasing (to me) & vibrant image by adjusting the white point in levels. The numerous tiny white spots (sky peeking thru I believe) in your image are producing a tiny bit of info at the far RH side - white point - of the histogram, I adjusted the white point significantly to the LH side to the point just shy of affecting the colors, and while the white points were brighter it produced a more attractive image - IMO - YMMV.
