[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 274804, member: 9240"] I know I'm a little late to the game on this one. Image seems a flat and monotone, and sort of suffers from something to focus on. Using PSE 9 (nothing fancy), did an overall light adjustment to brighten it a bit, then I used the burn tool to darken the midtones in the rocks in the foreground a bit so they weren't pronounced (more or less back to where they were in the original). Then I dodged some of the shadows out on the hill to the right and burned in some midtones and highlights in the trees in the background. This framed the water a little better, drawing your eye there. Then I used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to boost saturation a touch (+14) and I slid the Hue slider to the left (-10) which brought out some of the yellows in the foliage. Not sure how accurate it is to mother nature, but it pops a bit more.
