My pleasure. I confess to being very fond of the "regular tourist thing." Keep at it! ;-)

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my image and for tweaking it to look much better than it did originally. I was just passing through this spot (regular tourist thing), we were traveling down the coast on US 1 to Big Sur....I just thought the trees were pretty.

It certainly is a lovely vista, but a technically difficult one because of the haze and the distance. Ethan makes some good points, but sometimes there aren't too many choices. I've tweaked the color saturation and contrast a bit. Although this site can be very helpful with different ideas and techniques, it is always awkward to communicate suggestions. Hope this helps and you don't mind.
Regards,
--George

Certainly a spectacular view, but this photo doesn't have any striking features. The sky is hazy, not quite blue and not quite white, with no clearly defined clouds either. The landscape is a nearly uniform sea of green which isn't bad, but isn't that great either. I surmise from the shadows that this was taken in the mid-afternoon, which isn't a great time for outdoor photography because the light tends to be a little harsh. Wait a couple hours for the "golden hour" before sunset and the difference is considerable.
If I were in the same situation, I would try to find some aspect of the landscape that really stands out. Perhaps you could take that tree in the foreground and shoot it from a different perspective. Maybe you could tinker with the color balance to make it a bit bolder.
