i think the sky is a matter of taste as if anything i would have done it more, but then i am sure most people would have agreed with you that its too much. the sharpening is definitely soft, you are right, but again that was personal taste as it looked too hard to me, but i will post a sharpened version which you may prefer as this shot has only been very slightly sharpened in ps acr. thanks for the advice, Greg.

I agree the sky is a matter of taste I like the composition. If it looks sharp in print is what matters.

Mono and a further desaturated and slightly coloured sky to balance things out a touch...
