    The composition is fairly pleasing and the area looks quite nice but the image has an overall murckyness that might be caused by the wrong white balance or not enough contrast.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    I too think the composition is good, but the lighting on the foreground isn't really helping. You could probably do something with PP, but it looks like too much diffused (cloudy) lighting.

    Re: tree and clouds

    Hey thanks very much for the feed back. Yes I did no PP other than bring the levels sliders in a bit to more closely bracket the histogram.I agree with the assessments WB is probably a bit of and a kinda murky in a way. I think I could probably do a lot with PP actually, but I tend to not be such a big fan of it.

    thanks again!

    I agree it's a great composition and yes the lighting is a bit flat and looking murky (Still it is a beautiful shot) Bring up a little light and saturation in the fg, that may give it the slight needed pop here.
    Good stuff
