Thanks for your kind comments of late rahrens!
There are some nice colors to be captured, to be sure.
since I'm still very much a P.S. novice and a pretty casual hobbyist. Re: Post-processing.
I almost always play with my pictures in Photoshop. I say play, because it's fun and I don't have a "workflow"
For the above photo, I wasn't happy with the original color (too cheerful/warm) so I de-saturated it a bit and changed the color balance. To feature the foreground/woman I darkened the upper-frame with a neutral-density 'filter'. I cropped the sides to make it a vertical shot because originally the woman was dead-center and there was unnecessary brush and grass. Also, there was a fair bit of garbage (Korea is a trashy place) that I had to clone out. Finally, I resized and sharpened for posting on the web.
) and both turned out well. I need to crop this, as you can see the edge of the frame somewhat. 
no worries jayb. i like what you did with it.
what's hdr?
It's odd, I can't decide what mood that photo puts me in... not quite trainquil, not quite anxious. Somewhere in between. Maybe closer to the anxious part. But then again, I read too much into some things.
Nice image though, I like the moodiness.

Looking at it again, I think I feel so divided because the sky and composition lends itself to read as "stable," "still," and that part of the earlier noted "trainquility." But, there's this feeling of unrest.
Anyway, I'm blabbing... but I do enjoy your image.
