very nice image.... I moved from SA to UK 5 months ago. Similar skies here :) - have you tried HDR ... Not the overdone version of course, Just to bring out the sky a little more

I applied some midtone contrast to it and I think it's perfect. When the light is this good, photoshop becomes 99% redundant.

Indeed, the less shopping the better, it IS a perfect image... I was just wondering if you had used HDR, and then i saw your gallery and it blew my pants off. (I am still looking for them)

I checked your image, it looks nice:) we have very different tastes in photography so we will only reach an agreement of disagreement if we go into this argument:)

lol, did some in the very beginning about 2 years ago. I've come to hate the automated process. It makes the tones of an image completely unrealistic. I do however use the manual exposure blending HDR method a lot.

I think the key is to get HDR looking natural.
