The angle of this photo is perfect. The lighting is a little flat. There are sharpening artifacts along the edge of the trees. Probably a little less sharpening and a little selective work in the levels and curves and this photo would stand out much more.
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
