Maybe a tiny bit of wrong focus or ISO speed, because the hill thingy in the middle has very flat colours.

Maybe true, I had to snap it pretty quickly as he wasn't there very long.

I'll run it through Photoshop and do a little tweaking.

Oooh, so he didn't intend to pose there.

All righty.

If he did, I didn't know about it! I knew it made an awesome shot though, so I took it while I could. He wasn't there long.

Could use a touch of color adjustment, but then, that's just opinion. This is a really great shot.

Can you elaborate? I'm open to suggestions. I've not done any post-processing to this, aside from running an Unsharp Mask on it, and downsizing the image. The colours are pretty much this vivid in real life.

Actually, I was thinking a simple autocolors, and autolevels would do it, but sometimes I like to duplicate the picture layer and try setting the duplicate layer to overlay or multiply, it really makes the colors pop.

Duped later set to Overlay at about 40% transparency seems to have made it much nicer. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips, I'll have a go at them and see what happens. If the result is better, I'll update the image.
