[QUOTE="STM, post: 559047, member: 12827"] There is no real "correct" way to this, as everyone looks at an image a little differently. I chose to make the mood in this image a little more somber. I would blur the background a good bit, it is somewhat busy and draws your attention away from the main subject. I just did a couple of areas of progressively stronger Gaussian blur because it takes to long to do layer masks when you are just making suggestions. I too opened up the shadows some and dropped the overall contrast a little. I darkened the background and vignetted the image a little. The horizon looks a little off kilter to me by a degree or so as well so I straightened it. This projects a very different atmosphere than your original.
