I do however like this as presented. Darkening the blacks and mid-tones might give this more punch. I love the atmospheric perspective and the fog.
Some questions for Roman:
1-Is it not acceptable to have the sun and the area around the sun blown out in images of this type? (Jim Brandenburg has been doing that effectively for a long time.)
2-Would HDR have helped? It might require -10 stops to save the detail in the sun...
3-Did you get my response to your e-mail?
