I'm sorry I misjudged you, Leo. I gave this a 1 because I was certain she was not walking west. Titles are very important to me, you see.

Congrats on the great finish. Great shot.

Hey Clay, you may hate this edit, but for better or worse I've found it takes this kind of contrast to grab attention here. Salmiakki said it right: If you like it it doesn't matter. But if you do care about getting higher votes, my experience is that you've got to push the envelope with processing.

So here is a stab at that, for better or worse.

Reading your comment on playing with it... just boost the black in levels. It is missing the local contrast. You've got a sensational shot here but just process it differently.

You say you don't want it to look fake. Well this looks fake. Really, really fake. In real life there's way more contrast and I'd wager in real life those clouds were dark. So make them dark.
