    Prez,


    Very nice shot. The only suggestion I would make is to run a noise reduction tool on it....there is some noise in the sky, suggesting that you shot at a fairly high ISO. I use a PS plugin called Noise Ninja. It works wonders for high-ISO shots.

    Couple of comments. Fine photo there.... I would crop out the foliage on the left (too distracting, and has nothing to add to the sunset feeling). The NR setting is a bit strong. See the halos around the leaves? Shouldn't see any.

    Yeah, that's better. I agree with David...maybe reduce the strength of the noise reduction a little. You should basically play with the settings (the three main sliders) until you don't see a lot of noise in the sky, but you also don't see the "halos" around high contrast objects, like the leaves against the sky. It's somtimes a little hard to get just the right balence, but that's half the fun, right? :D
