james -
i think a good share of that is cuz i seem to favor a little more saturation. so just for grins & giggles, i went back & re-did it, & if anything, i DE-saturated it just a tad. everything else i left pretty much baseline - in other words, i didn't do any other tweaking in processing. here is the result. not sure what you felt was too over done in the mountains, but if you felt that my 1st post had an issue there, then you'll probably feel the same way about this one. but i have to think this is pretty close to what was there.
