Mike,

 

this may be a little extreme, but...

I added some local contrast, darkened the top of the sky using levels and a layer mask, ditto the lower corners and the line of trees in the distance, then I added some toning and sharpened a little. You could do a lot better with the original, especially in the sharpening, but this gives you an idea of an alternative (not better - just different) treatment.

I always love these comparisons. I learn a lot from them.

 

I see the appeal of both the reworked images, but I like the original the best. It feels like the reworked ones are images yelling at me for attention, whereas the original is a real quiet place itself.

 

It always seems a question in my own work, how high do I rev things up? How much sizzle? How much steak?

 

Just my take. Obviously others may differ.

 

Best,

 

Mitchell

VERY nicely seen, framed and captured Mike. While all interpretations work well, I find that for me, the best way to present this lovely image is by adding contrast to the lower part, and darken and not lighten the top part.

Wish I knew how to attach it to this thread, obviously with Mike's permission.

Interesting image. Like the repetition and can see it working well as a print. I dont understand why no one has bothered to straightened it?

 

Put your levelling rule on the post holes in the last photo and you'll find it been straightened, methinks.
