Rand, I can see what you were going for in the light pastel sky, and though I would personally have opted for a little detail in the clouds, I agree with Eric that this way has a certain charm to it. And I find the image to be overall very pleasing. However, I don't think that we are seeing what you see on your monitor, for two reasons. First, this sRGB, jpeg-compressed version is indeed almost completely clipped in the clouds, contrary to what you wrote above, when checked in Photoshop. Maybe that wasn't the case before conversion. Second, LuLa forums have a size limit of 800 pixels wide for embedded images referred from external web sites, so your referenced Smugmug version has been downsized from its 1238 pixel size there, probably not by an optimal algorithm. You can get the full size to show up here (via clicking on a thumbnail) by attaching rather than embedding it.
