You've done a fabulous job of removing the haze present in the original. I really love the intensity of the colors and the defined texture in rocks, you definitely met your stated goal!

You could try the gothic glow bit I did to my Texas building... I'd probably darken it a touch before running the action, though, as it will bring up the highlights.

Lovely work bringing out the color and contrast in this! I love being able to see the formations in the outcropping.

Both are good edits and pretty good job cloning out that pesky fence! Honestly, I don't know what people are thinking when they put those things up - obviously they're not taking our needs into consideration. I like the B&W version as well (I often prefer monochrome) but a lighthouse such as this seems to want color. Nice work!

I like the B&W version better than the colour. I really brings out the stark white of the lighthouse tower which in turn leads the eye to the light chamber.

Your starting point is lovely. I'll be interested to see what you do with it.

Great improvement with the fence gone. Iagree that the cloning is a bit noticeable, buut you certainly chose something challenging to clone out. The colours are great in this one. The b&w is nice too, but I prefer the coloured one.

excellent process .. love the way the brickwork has been made so much more obvious with your processing .. a great texture & your colours are great ...
i noticed the blury bits in the grass in front of the building and wondered about them .. i then looked at your original .. then i read your processing steps .. probably a nit pick coz its a great image now .. :)
