Nice like the recession of the fields and the delicate tones.

I like this but I think more can be brought out of it (you might not as this is your image )

But how about this

 

Photoshop cs4 simple process borrowed from film days by placing a negative over a positive

 

Duplicate layer       all work done on this

Image - adjust-desaturate

image- adjust -invert

Select overlay and reduce opacity to suit

layer-adjust layer-hue/saturation to suit

filter-other-high pass- adjust to around 3

select soft light

Flattern image when happy

 

Twiddly bits can be done to siut to individual tastes

Thanks FUJI for your kind words, I have been a bit lost in photography for a while and have not shown any photos for years so a positive comment really helps!

Thanks OlyPaul. The light was great and the distance/slight mist really desaturated the tones.

Great tips thank you, I'm honoured that you spent the time on my image. I do like it but I was really after more of a subdued look.

I have resized (Thanks FUJI) and actualy croped the top clouds out as I think they may detract from the main theme. Not sure though!!

I am enjoying your cropped version Paul. The Rays from the clouds / sky are nice. That is a mighty view.

Great shot Paul! Fuzzy's edit has brought out much more detail but I think I prefer it before the crop; the darker clouds gave a sense of closure to the top of the picture that mirrored the bottom.
