Props to RyanS who took me out and mentored me. Here is one of the several images he helped me capture. I will show you the original first then the post. Info: Sony a200, Handheld, ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/100. In iPhoto I cropped as you will see in image 2, played with contrast, saturation, definition, sharpness, and temperature. Please help a newb out and give me your thoughts
1. Original

    Nice job! Love that you isolated the mountains... the only critique I have is I probably would have rotated this just a tic clockwise to get rid of the dark line at the bottom of the mountains in the lower right hand corner.

    Very nice, Darryl. I like the composition in #1. It's nice to combine man-made elements into landscapes when they're interesting like this. I would apply the post-processing of the mountains in #2 to this first version as well.
