I get the feel of scan lines from the all the horizontal lines, especially in the background.

Almost looks like a panning shot, I do not understand the cause of the horizontal lines in the background terrain

I would love to see with the detail and IQ T2i is capable of capturing which I feel the tonemapping and image mixing may be hindering

EDIT: just realized this is an old shot before you got the T2i

...2nd try.. I put in a detailed response and it vanished.. most likely my fault for clicking on the forum jump button instead of the post quick reply lol

i love the expanse of this. the hues are lovely, earthly. nice browns and subtle greens. i think however it needs a tiny bit of a punch. what i usually do to achieve that is just do an auto levels or auto curves. that results in most cases in a color shift also which i don't want, so i go in to 'fade' mode. by clicking apple shift F, or control shift F for pc users, i think. from the drop down menu if u choose soft color that will usuall bring the photo back to its original pallette of colors only with the added punch. now to adjust how much of that kick u want u just use the slider and your eyes. this is one of my favorite techniques in my daily color correcting routine :-)

this one is a fine image just needs a tiny bit of a kick, imo. having said that, it's a really nicely captured image.

I agree the composition and subject rocks, just a little something to make it pop. It does look like it has some noise in it. Try Scott Kelbys color correction technique, just google it. Takes less than minute.

KK thanks. I will look into it.
