This is gorgeous and very well processed. I would be tempted to lighten the shadow in the very lower left corner, so that it is similar in value to the immediate surrounding area. This would make the overall design perfect to my eye.  Either way it is a beautiful photograph! Splendid!

Thank you Paul for your encouraging comments. I'll have a play with that corner & see what I can do with it.

Wonderful image Matt. Some really great "tone work". I think if there are "question marks" about the processing in some areas (and I have a few maybe), it seems like it might be best to look at it printed (don't know what you had planned for it)...as it is going to "darken down". I've been using Canson Rag Photographique for images with this kind of tonal range...and it would probably look great on that paper bye the by. /B

Well done, Matt. Bravo! Leave the corners and everything else alone. It's finished.

I would simply leave it as it is! It's a fantastic image with a light that it just out of this world.

A great picture. It has been finished in my opinion, too. Nevertheless I'm curious how a lush color version would look like.

Thanks all for the positive comments. I am quiet pleased with this one.
It will be interesting to see how it prints.

Yes. If you don't the quest for perfection will be never ending.
