 I wasn't going to enter this challenge, but after racking my brain for ideas for the batteries challenge, I came up empty. So on the final day of this challenge, I finally started to think about ideas, and this is the best I could come up with. We'll see what this attitude results in.

This is taken at a spot which I have taken a number of photos. Most notably a night time shot that I'm very proud of. I actually took three bracketed exposures, with every intent to HDR the scene, but then I realized it was a basic editing challenge, so that was out.

Post Processing:
* Crop
* White Balance
* Recovery
* Black Point
* Highlights
* Topaz DeNoise
* Topaz Adjust
* Topaz Detail
* S-curve
* Export to TIFF
* Resize to 800px
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG

P.S. Here is the HDR version, which I actually like quite a bit better.

Love the texture the clouds in the sky make. Great point of view and nicely composed.

Nice image, would have been great if you had taken a few steps back or zoomed out a bit, I feel like Im too cramped in the shot, more sky would have really scored high. well done though nice shot.

The sky is too beautiful to be called negative space. It does adds to the image because it's so gorgeous, to the wow effect.. Beautiful photo.
