Re: What would you change in this photo?

Thus, I went. I rather like this photo I presented here, but I realize
it is not showroom quality. I am not sure exactly what to do to bridge
that gap. Not surprising, since this is (almost) the first photograph I
have taken in 30 years.

I plan on going back to Mono Lake quarterly for the next year to catch
it in different seasons. I am hoping people here can give me some
suggestions on what to do differently next time.

I have had a few good suggestions so far, but am always open to others.

Burt,

I took the liberty to make a few modifications to your Mono Lake
photo. If you like the direction these mods lead you, I would be glad
to let you know what I did. Literally millions of tweaks you can do
to any photo post production, it just depends on what you like or what
your clients like. I personally like the HDR format now for some
photos but some purists don't. Should be room for all types of
preferences.

I will only have your photo "up" on FLICKR for a few days for you to
look at, but would certainly take your photo down immediately if you
do not wish to have it on "the Web".

It should be the last photo I uploaded onto this site, the URL is:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/el_condor_loco/

I live in Australia, so with the time differences, let me know
immediately if you wish me to take your photo down straight away.....
