I would really like to make a print of this photo and would appreciate some input from some of the experts here.
Please if you have any input (good or bad) I would very much like to hear from you. Thanks

Yeah... It seems too dark to me...
Play with the levels some and kick the contrast...
I'd also play with the blue channel some ... It does seem kinda blue |

| Yeah....I'd kick some of the blue back! Too much of it through the photo! The brightness seems ok on my pc though! But, looks washed in blue! Try knocking a bit off that channel! |

somewhere between the first and second pic would be ideal.
i personally like dark pics, with a lot of contrast.
superimpose the two on top of each other? lol
hey, who knows..

| I now notice the blue tent throughout the photo. I thank you for the input and will adjust a little more. |

I would still clean it up a bit more ... it is a little hot for my taste now... but the balance is better IMHO

If dark is what your wanting, you made it. :)
Too dark... No, all the important detail is still visible in the darkened shot, so it's not too dark. Since the detail is there, it's left to a matter of taste.
One caution though, since you mentioned you were wanting to make a print, make sure the printer has (at least) the dynamic range of the monitor. Some can't print the very dark or the very white, but I don't think it's dark enough to worry about that.

Yep - this one has the most appeal to me. No Godzilla in it, but other than that, I like it.

That version was 'shopped along the basic lines I have suggested for increasing luminosity, over in the natural light (or is it landscape? I lose track...) mentorship thread. Of particular interest is using hue/sat on the reds and yellows and making the yellows more saturated and brighter while the reds are made more saturated and darker; this is what has produced the more tactile and inviting rendering of the foreground sand.
Ther's also a gradient overlay in the sky, faded to 20%, that evens it up from top to bottom.

OK this is my final version. Hope you like it. I also want to thank everyone for their comments and input. It has helped.
I even brought a little green back into the background trees. |

I like that you kept it quite dark, but it is definately an improvement

looks good, but it seemed to have lost some sharpness for some reason
