Thanks Paul and Rose! I didn't notice at home, but looking on my (uncalibrated) work monitor the foreground looks a little dark. I'll probably lighten it a bit. I appreciate your comments!

The foreground is fine. Don't touch it. If you lighten it you'll lose the effect of the leading line the yellow (i.e. lighter) bushes along the road and creek make.

The shot is exceptional as it is. Good one.

Alveric is right, Jon. It looked dark to me on my work computer. Looks about right on my calibrated display.

Proceed with caution. :)

Well done, as usual.

I think the foreground looks good...it gives perfect contrast to the sun kissed mountain background. imo. :)

Looking at it at home, it looks much better. No changes planned, so crisis averted. Thanks very much for the feedback guys!

Actually I meant to ask about the building and lights .... am in NZ and while I think we have some wonderful architecture and arts - this is something else.
