Thanks for the comments everyone. This is a shot that was exposed to have the foreground Silhouette (black), but to bring out the sunset. That shot is ok, but in some respects kind of a standard cactus sunset picture....

I wanted more, so changed the exposure in PS RAW - and this brought out the foreground details and I liked the shot much better - but of course it then had associated artifacts from the underexposed foreground. I like the "emotion" of this shot much more than the Silhouette shot, so kept playing with it.

Does anyone want to use this as a Photoprocessing challenge? I would love to send it out and see what everyone can do with it. Let me know, and if so I will figure out how to get the Raw file to you.

Thanks again for responding.
Dave
