Prabir,

The FG greenery is too large and draws the eye from the more interesting BG. I would suggest cropping out the greenery completely.

Also, if there was no good reason for clipping the left side of the hut, then it should have been included.

Thanks a lot, Robert for your comments. Had to exclude the left side, there was too much of a clutter.
You are right about the foreground vegetation. I have to crop it out.

Hi Prabir, taking on board Roberts comments I also feel that there is a certain amount of red running through it and could do with some minor adjustments just to brighten it.

Colour balance midtones, adjusting the top to the left & bottom slider to the right
Saturation green channel to lift the FG bushes, drop the Red channel
Selective colour Cyan & Blue chanel

Might be a little too bright?

Steve

Steve, thanks a lot. Your post looks fine to me.
It was mid day with clear sky near the Equator, had to be bright!

I have to concur with Robert's initial assessment here...and I like what Steve has done to the colour...
I generally try to avoid taking landscape images in midday light. Sometimes it's unavoidable when travelling...
