The Watchman in Zion NP.
Any CC on this image? I have no idea what I think of it.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

It is a beautiful shot. Great composition and you captured it at the perfect moment. I don't know what the original looked like so it is hard to give a lot of CC on the post production. It looks like you might have given it some extra "pop"!
With color, if you are looking at selling, the one thing I try to remember in post production is will the image fit into someone's decor'? If I have gone to far in my post production; although people absolutely love the image at a show; they may not have any idea where they can put it in their home.
I'm sure the printed image is even more stunning than what we see here. So if you really look at it, can it be brought down some? Or does it have that perfect amount of "wow" factor and the potential customer can still find a place to put it in any room of their home.
Just a good way to look at pretty much any print. Bottom line, you did a great job capturing the shot.
Hi! This is where I came from with this image. :)
It is beautiful. But I'd take a slightly different approach than Scott was advising about saturation, I believe. I don't mind the pop in the sky and on the cliffs, but I think you warmed up the white balance in the grasses a bit too strongly. I'd selectively move the white balance over to the cooler side of the spectrum just a tad for the sake of realism. I like the composition and everything else.
Something like this?
Way better.
Exactly what I meant. Looks more realistic.
