Not much more needs to be done to this lovely photograph IMO.

Very well done.

Very nice lighting. My unsolicited advice is to crop off some of the sky (about 1/2 way down to the tree). Although nice, the subject is really the sun and trees.

Yes, I do think I need to crop it. I want to enter it into the fair this year which means I have to keep it so it looks good at 16x20 which will put some constraints on my cropping. Also the 2 Joshua trees on the far left poking up above the rock bothers me, so I will likely remove them.

I might do some more tweaks to the sky as well. At this point I usually go a few different directions then compare them at the end and see which one I like most.
