With all the great feedback I received on my first Mesa Arch post I went back and processed the Raw in NX2 which, for me, at least, seems to produce an image much closer to the original scene. I only tweaked the sky and sharped and brought up foregroud some. It is closer to the red and away from the orange/yellow of the first post, but, again, I will leave that judgement to the critical eye of you of the forum. Your comments and suggestions are encouraged. Thanks for looking. Joe Rogers

I think this is a much improved image, especially in the sky. Nice work!

To help refresh memories and make a comparison more convenient, here's a link to the original.
It does look better, Joe. I like this uncropped version where a small portion of the sky is left on top. Print it and frame it!

A definite improvement, Joe. Like John says...print it on up!

This is much improved. I like the color a lot more. It may need just a bit more sharpening and it looks like you've got some vignetting on the bottom corners, probably from a filter holder or lens shade that could be cloned or cropped out. You effectively got rid of the vignetting that was on the top right in the previous image though. Good work.
