Workshop Note
Hi,

I found the shot a little too flat and decided to try and work the curves in the GIMP.

This is my attempt at providing a little more contrast (especially between the ground and sky) while trying to retain as much detail in both the shadow and hilights.

I also applied a liberal 0.8/0.3 unsharp mask to bring out a little detail.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful photo with us.
