Following this creek along a back country road after a morning dusting of snow, this spot presented a good stop for a shooting buddy and I before we got down the bank to get closer.

Bill,

this has the same flat and washed out look as the previous photo I helped you with. Don't be afraid to play around in PSE and bump levels/contrast/saturation etc.

Can I ask what monitor you are using?

Bill - I have seen this with your many other posts too - the shadows are very open and no real darks which makes them a little weird looking. You need to tweak the processing a bit and these issues will be easily fixed. I like this scene and water treatment looks like a great area to explore more intimate scenes

thanks guys, agreed. if you could have seen it on my monitor and how overblasted it looked, well... never mind, definitely correct and needs some work. thanks!

Bill maybe increasing the blacks or playing with the contrast and saturation would help this otherwise nice scene. I agree wih Luke and Arnab, a bit flat and washed out..... even the repost.
