"I seek to capture the most information I can...so when editing...I have the most options to maximize the shot. Seeing shots like this excites me....as if I can experience the beauty of a place and almost smell it."

I agree about the processing comment. I try as hard as possible to shoot for the maximum dynamic range of an image. I think with a couple of layers, that this image (which is already very good) and come even further.
