Since there was some interest in this image, I thought I would repost it per suggestions for improvment. I have lighted the mountainside some and pumped up saturation a little in the orange tree leaves. I was trying not to go overboard on lightening, but please let me know if it is not enough. Thanks for the CC. It makes us all better photographers.

Why, that's much better, Joe!

Nice improvement Joe, adding just a little bit of brightness to the foreground to bring in some detail really makes a difference.

The added brightness helps, for sure. I'm not sold on the added saturation though. I think you could have left that as is.

I think I'd have to agree with Guy. The added saturation might have been a smidgen to much, but brightening the foreground helped a lot.

I was not really sold on the added sat myself....will probably take it back down.
