Hi Stephanie,

I really like this shot with the vertical composition and the sunrays coming in to compliment your leading line going around the corner and disappearing. Adds a bit of mystery to the shot. I think I might like to see if you can tone down the sun rays a bit and compare the two before I can vote on it. I think it may add a bit more contrast and better define those rays coming in. For my personal tastes, the sun rays distract from this beautiful shot rather than enhance it. I'd be happy to take a shot at it, with your permission.

What do you mean take a shot at it?

Sorry, I meant to try and edit it to what I was describing. I don't like to edit other people's pictures unless they say it's okay. Sorry for any confusion.

If I were you Hi Stephanie, I would work out a few other landscapes before choosing one. You image is nice, but doesn't seem to be a true landscape in the full sense of the word.

Here you go, Stephanie. I included both your original and my edit for easy comparison purposes. Thanks for allowing me to edit it.

Here's what I did to it in Photoshop:
* Auto tone adjustment
* Selected the highlights and added a layer via copy
* Changed blending mode to multiply at 100% and then adjusted the highlights -30 using the "adjust shadows/highlights" option
* Duplicated the layer and changed that blending mode to multiply as well
* Bumped up the vibrance and saturation on the layer +50 each
