That looks better Ben.

Btw, we are in the same boat, this is my second attempt in CSLR. These guys look mean and intimidating, but they are really not. They are great bunch of people -- aam1234

Alexeig,

Sneaky Sneaky! You're right about the time, I brought out the colors in the clouds with a Selective Color layer in PS and tried to soften the light a little on the teepee with some burning of the hightlights.

About the sharpening, I'll try another edit with less USM. I've mostly been hanging around DPChallenge and any kind of softness in photos there is liable to get you all kinds of ridicule.

Thanks for the comments!

To me this looks like a great evening lighting, your exif shows 10.36 though. Go figure

Agree with Matt. The level of sharpening goes against this peaceful kind of photos. Still love it though --- aam1234

I agree - I love the contrast of the stark, white, angular teepee against the subdued, blue and orange sky.

My only suggestion would be to ease up on the sharpening - the sharpening halo along the left edge of the teepee is a bit distracting.

The colors and the mood of the photo are just excellent --- aam1234
