    This is a nice shot mate, I really like the neutral colours of all the stones.

    An inviting place and a beautiful image.....is there a mild tilt or is that an illusion ?

    Hey Pat, indeed a pretty scene!
    You could achieve even more by tickling the WB tool!

    Thank you folks for your comments, indeed I had thought to leave a slight tint in the image but on reflection it looked a bit much,
    here it is with WB correction,

    Yes, it was possibly just a fraction on the red side?

    Maybe you could get away with a tiny bit more brightness without losing the muted tones?

    This would be, contrary to the CC, a inappropriate move IMO. The shot was
    taken in "dawny" tones and values…

    @ PAT: cool colour correction… I would try to dim down the rocks just a third
    of a stop to echo the evening light levels. The rocks have better colours in your
    second version.

    Love the foreground rocks - what amazing tones and textures Pat. I like the WB correction in the second and wonder about a tad more brightness and possibly some LCE on the background only to add a bit of clarity to the buildings and early evening/morning light in the sky?

    I love this shot, too, Pat. I liked the colour of the rocks in the first shot, although the sky seemed to have an odd cast to it. The revised version has taken of the sky but, in comparison, the rocks now seem a little washed out - maybe that is just an optical illusion resulting from instantly switching between the two versions in lytebox. But maybe you could apply a little saturation to the rocks when / if you address others' concerns about the overall brightness.

    Re: Dull Morning

    Hi Pat I agree with Greg about the colors but it is personal preference. I usually like the color casts caused by the time of the day. If it is a dawn shot, I wouldn't like the colours of the stones to look like the ones in a day time shot.So, if it was my image I think the amount of the tint would be something like between #1 and #2.
