Devils Den

This was taken at Devils Den in Arkansas 3 days ago. It was real nice weather outside so there was alot of people. I waited along time for this bridge to be empty but it never was, so I took this photo and cloned 3 people out. I also tried to level the image as best I could. I would like to tone down the bright spot in the sky but I haven't figured out how yet. I used a Canon 40D, 28-105mm at 28mm, f/16 at 1/6 sec. and ISO 100. Thanks for looking and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Tony, there is something about the rocks in the FG which strikes me as odd, not really sure what or why. IMHO you could crop some of the FG out about where the reflections hit the water and have a more interesting image. Thanks for sharing.

I agree a crop would look good in this image. It may be a lot, but I would crop it almost in half and make a panoramic out of it. As far is toning down the sky, you should try Tony Kuyper's Luminosity Masks to help with that ( http://goodlight.us/writing/luminositymasks/luminositymasks-1.html ).

Thanks for the photo, my family and I was in Arkansas last month. We drove by this place, but didn't have time to stop. We are looking forward to coming back to this here.

While the background and reflection have some glorious fall color, I find the foreground rocks have a bit too much cyan. I don't think if I would crop anything but would try color correction.
