A view of the Quiraing in Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Nice image. I have shot this location a number of times. This could be a very dramatic image if you decrease your exposure a lot and then using curves bring up the mid tones and drop the highlights. That will darken the sky and bring ground a lot. I would consider doing a mask (layer) for the sky to darken the highlight. All best accomplished on the RAW.

Thanks for the comments Kevin, much appreciated.

What Kevin said. :) But with limitations.

Nice image. I would look at the violet cast of the sky (at least on my color corrected monitor) which I think is a somewhat distracting and pulls the overall image down. I would look at it processed more toward the blue...as in Paines Gray...and with a bit more contrast. It will settle the image down and make it a little more cohesive.

Good point about the colour balance, I changed the balance just to see and is does suit a lower level, raised the contrast a bit too.

Paul,
I just had a look at your Flickr site and I think the Quirang photograph with the sheep in the foreground is a more compelling photograph.
