cogeroxComment by roz: i really like how you've given the image more contrast and depth ... i personally liked that little bit of smoke rhs which i would've kept or enhanced .. anything i say would only be my personal opinion and i cant say enough, that other ppl have different ideas that are just as valid ... i actually liked the original colour hue .. i'm not that keen on the pink look ... feel a bit uncomfortable saying that .. but you did ask for opinions!... i'm now trying to see it as if i'm someone else, and i think that a lot of ppl would like the pink ...
but wotever ... its an excellent photograph ...
re the getting it right for internet viewing ... if you look at other ppls work in dpc, especially the winners!!! .. then maybe you can calibrate your monitor so that your own images sort of match them ...
also i was saying in my perspective/edited comments that i have trouble getting the colours right ... like i get image saved for web and download into dpc and it looks quite different ...

i did try wot she said but couldnt see a difference, altho i now realise that i didnt actually download the one i tried in dpc, i just looked at it on my screen .... dohhh .. also i couldnt find the exact sRGB that she mentioned in "convert to profile".. i'm thinking i'll google RAW and try and work it out for myself ... unless someone can tell us from reading this ... etc ..
edit .. just had another look and i think i'd have increased the saturation in the red and the green to create a contrast with the colouring ... to bring out the red of the earth and the green of the vegetation .. ?? .. and i dont even know if i should make these sort of suggestions, because without getting it into photoshop and actually making the changes, i find it difficult to visualize the outcome ...
