It’s one that I’d like to say was mine, if that tells you anything.

You've made a nice photo out of a scene that doesn't exactly cry out to be noticed. The eye of a photographer!

Does it have a slight yellow cast to it that is disturbing the whites? Look like the white point isn't quite right to me which is affecting the blue sky a little.

I think also it lacks just a little in contrast. Could possibly benefit from a little colour saturation I think.

I think it also would make a nice sepia shot due to it's outlaw 1800's feel.

Thanks for that everyone and for that detailed input MA (that's kind of what I'm looking at more these days - how the image looks; colour and contrast wise on different people's computers).:highfive:

Marko, I like it. These days it seems that many things have to be over post processed with saturated colours and focal point that knock you out.

This has good detail, good composition and invites you to look into it to see what is there.

wow - thats a great shot! i love the composition, A++ on that... i wonder if its from viewing it at a smaller version, but to me it looks a bit over sharpened or something, just along the hilltop... this is a shot i would love to see really big blown up! love the border too - really sets it off...

reviewing it a second time, i think what makes it such a pleasing shot it the cloud formations, and the fact that they are low...also the color combination = a relaxing tan and blue always appeal to me.

I like it too. I like the composition and the slightly desaturated colors. I really do think the borders help to make a picture pop.
