    Great shot with some good contrast... i just wish it was rotated about 5 degrees to the left to level out the horizon.

    Glad to see someone else enjoying the sights of the Pacific North West

    I think trying a different perspective might give you a better picture. Right now it's too "flat" with the dead-on/centered view. Did you take other shots? Next time try walking around a bit, getting closer and further out to look for other views giving more drama.

    Thanks - your right. I will have to play with photoshop I guess. I have not done it before, but it is time to learn.

    That last shot is much better. See the difference in perspective?

    What BC was saying about horizon correction is something to look at in the
    viewfinder. Fix it there rather than in post. I think a little boost to the contrast
    would really make this shot shine.
