I loved this place..

Wow. I really like this. I bit more contrast would bring those "flames" out.

Very cool shot.

Ian beat me to it, but I too would suggest a bit more contrast, especially in the "flames". When were you there?

Ed great work! i hope you know that this and your last batch have put me into a frenzy in trying to get here at least once this year!
sad story but ive never been there....

Very nice image, Ed!

If you do go back to add a little more contrast, maybe you can tone down the bright white spot of sky on the right edge... my eye keeps getting drawn over there.

I think it is a definite improvement. You've done a nice job of controlling the highlights in the lower left corner and have added some nice "pop" to the ceiling.

I have one more suggestion which would be to leave the original image up when posting a new version. This allows the rest of us to better evaluate your changes and perhaps even more important, it allows others (who may not have seen the original) to learn from the suggestions that were made.

Thanks again for sharing the image. You've got a nice shot of a Southwest icon. I suggest that you print it big!
