    Overall a good image, but a touch "muddy" for my taste. If it were my shot, I might boost mid-tone contrast a touch.

    Re: First Image

    Thank you Manfred.
    You must please excuse me I'm not familiar yet with the "lingo" and also still learning my way around Lightroom.
    I did "move" the tone curve slightly in the center part, I hope that is what you meant.
    But thanks again, I appreciate all and any comments and advice

    It depends on how you move it. if you just move the center part up or down, that will brighten or darken mid-tones. To increase contrast (assuming the histogram is reasonably wide), you impose an S-shaped curve, pulling down the darks and pushing up the whites. That increases the range in the mid-tones, which we see as an increase in contrast.

    This and more is explained in the tutorials on this site. Look at the "tones and contrast" section here.

    Are my eyes deceiving me or is the apparent horizon tilted just a TAD?
