I admire you efforts in completeing such a detailed image. Certainly it suffers from compression at this resolutioin and even in the large view. Hard to translate the megapixels in a web image. I did enjoy the detail on your site.

Nice comp and an impressive effort but it feels a little flat on my monitor, John. Perhaps a bump in contrast and/or saturation would be worth trying?

I agree with the comment above mine - the image does look quite flat in terms of contrast, and a quick glance at the histogram reveals why this is the case. So, while the technical effort is undoubtedly considerable, I think the presentation of the image could be improved. Also, I wonder whether you have different compositions slightly earlier in the day to have somewhat warmer light?

Dave & Basil,
I agree that the images shown here on NP is very flat. Not sure what happens to images when transferred to this site. If you view the images on my website by pressing the Purchase Print I think you will find the image there has proper contrast and saturation.

Ah - you are uploading the JPG in Adobe RGB color space. You should convert it to sRGB color space before posting to the web. That should help some.
