Try adding neutrals in PS selective colours.. or a B/w layer blended in overlay mode and only at aout 20% opcaity I guessing.... but this reminds me that Tassie had all those bush fires!

Thanks for the advice, though I'm not quite sure what it does. Is the B/W layer to darken the shadows without brightening the highlights?

Set to overlay it does amazing thing to colours too....it uses the channel mixer.. I'll note you
examples are [link]

DSLR? I wish I had one of those. I have a Canon PowerShot A700 and a Quantaray tripod made by a company called Sunpak.

Very gloomy, love the mood of it (though I'd have used an hint higher contrast). Congrats!

Thank you!
I will try increasing the contrast. Maybe just in the brighter parts (foreground, middle, etc)?

Dunno, you may experiment! I just said that 'cause I found the dark spots not dark enough, but the photo looks really good either!
