Thoughts? This one is tricky for me in so many ways...

I like it as it is.

One is tempted to aask to have the foreground a bit lighter, but I think that would spoil the mood and subtlety.

I would slightly tame the brightest part of the sky and slightly increase the global exposure.

But as Eric said, not too much to avoid spoiling the mod an subtlety.

I think it's bright enough, even on my dim screen. This is a great subject. I thought this pattern in the foreground is manmade in the first place.

Is it cool to work with others' images?
I thought that the line running horizontally through the rock should be level, even if it's not level in real life.
I just brought the shadowy area up a bit.  I'm not a processing wizard, I just like to work with images and learn.

I think that looks better. I appreciate your feedback.

My pleasure.  I'm sure there are some processing wizards on this site that could do much better.  But I love to tinker.
You captured an amazing image.  We can't all be everywhere so it's nice to see the beauty of other areas.

Very good composition. I prefer the sombre mood of the original.
