    A truly stunning image, and very well composed.

    I have one suggestion. Like many images captured under hazy conditions, it has parts that appear a bit washed out. You may want that look, but if not, you could edit it to pop more. I made two edits. First, I moved the black point up a small amount--not much, because you already have a good tonal range. Then I added contrast with a curves tool, setting it to luminosity blend mode. The latter is important because if you use a normal blend mode, the curves tool will increase saturation as well, and in my experience, that can make images like this appear over-saturated. I'll post the image below. It's just a quick edit, and even if you think this is a good direction to go in, the amounts may be wrong for your taste.

    Very nice Dan. Your correct, I think a few tweaks will help this image.

    Dan's suggestion is exactly what I would have done with this image. Not a lot has changed but it does have a noticeable bit more 'pop' now.
