Sal, this is definitely a GOOD photo as far as balance goes, but it just doesn't jump out at me. Also wondering if you could move your levels slider to the left a bit, and add a slight S curve to bring out the contrast.
Some real nice elements and a fine composition here all combine to make a very good image.
I agree with the others that a bit more 'darkroom' work can help quite a bit. Where was this taken?
Thanks guys for the suggestions. Headed to the darkroom.
Todd is correct. It was taken from Dallas Road off of 62

Very nice shot. Peaceful and well composed. Wish that you had some additional drama in the clouds to excite the emotions. Will be fun to see your darkroom work.
I like it...great capture. It would be nice if this were taken during sunrise/sunset to get a different lighting effect, but the clouds were there then, so I think you did the best you could with the elements. I do think a bump in contrast would help. Again, nice shot.

I agree about the contrast - just a little more would make it pop!
