Very good one, even if the unsharp mask is too strong

Comment by Paul:
This is certainly a pretty scene and the colour gradient in the sky is tremendous. Personally though, this looks like you've been a bit heavy with the sharpening to me (something I'm prone to do myself) - I think this delicate scene would better suit a smooth rather than crisp treatment. This appearance is particularly prominent in the lower left foreground foliage which is also quite bright and thus accentuates the over-sharpened look.

Perhaps it is jpeg artifaction, if I look in the upper branches of the tree I can see a cross-hatch pattern...

Overall, clearly a beautiful scene with outstanding colour handling but for me, the sharpening / compression combination takes the shine off it.
