I like what you have done. Great focus and DOF. Better contrast, better color, more vivid. It makes it a much more interesting picture to me. I would only suggest cloning out the couple taking a snapshot on the right side and cloning out the small dark spot (bird?) that is in the middle of the nice white cloud.

Of the two, I like the processed one better .I like the warmer colors, and it looks more inviting.

I like the 2nd one quite a bit better. Nice image.

I prefer the Post Processing on #2 as it corrects exposure and contrast on #1.
While it rubs me wrong to do so, carefully cloning out the two folks taking pictures might eliminate a minor distration and focus more attention on the main subject.

Thank you for your suggestion. I agree. John

Totally agree the second one is much nicer, better shadow and highlight detail. Very nice, I also agree that the couple taking the snapshot would be better cloned out JMO.

I DO NOT LIKE TOO MUCH PP. But I have to go along with everyone one this one, #2 is much better. I can hear it inviting me to stay a while. There I said it; satisfied? Now I have to go wash my mouth out!
