Hi, Darren! I woke up to the fact that I failed to respond to all of your appreciated critique comments. To tell you the truth, I was surprised to see only a smattering of red blinkies on this final image with no clipped highlights in the butte. Actually there was the slimmest line on the right histogram boarder and in checking the image, I found a small number of red smatterings, all of which were in the clouds. A bit far right, a slightly larger few drops in the center area and some small speckles on the left. I found more than enough detail in the clouds to please me. I'll confirm again here that the #2 image is a thin shadow darker. You've nudged me back from trusting an old person's instinctive sense to one of actually utilizing the available technology. Your kind remarks were much appreciated.

The only thing that changes (besides the URL) is the title. One has a space between the words and the other doesn't. That is a VERY striking image, Jack. My only comment would be to look at the histogram of the original file and see if the peaks run off the right side (blown-out highlights). If there is detail there, I would preserve it. It would make a very good image into a great one, IMHO. I like to have the histogram turned on in my Preview image so I can see it right when I chimp the shot. Pentax is thoughtful to also have the ability to turn on the "blinkies" on your LCD to show over-exposed pixels, which can be handy if you don't want to mess with the histogram.
