Very atmospheric, Chuck. I would be tempted to lighten up the bottom part just a tad, and darken the upper part equally so.

You guys are right.  The foreground really closes up when the image is reduced to 800 pix.

Here is another interpretation that I already had done that is along the lines suggested.
Thanks for the comments.

Wow, fabulous revision.
Slobodan was correct - opening up the foreground a bit has made a massive difference.
The original post was really good, the revision is a cracker!

Odd man out here... I prefer the mystery of the first version.  There's enough detail to suggest and anchor.

I like both equally well and each could hold its own in a diptych like presentation.
