I thought the bluish colored gravel in the foreground a bit harsh (there were gravel in that area and I don't know why they turn out blue). If I replace it with a a color close to other rocks nearby and darken the highlights,this is what i get. It brings out the striped color bands in the middle and cliff to the left (Many Beacon) a little golden (this may be cosmetic and not the way nature intended to be) All this without changing the major color content. The noise went up a bit I think.

Maybe there is a bit more shadow at the bottom than people like to be (composition issue). The way it happened was as the Sun rose, the top cliffs get the light and slowly reaches the bottom ravines and gullies as the time progresses.

With minimal PP of the raw, this is what I get. This comes close to what was seen but it looks a tiny bit jaded.

Glad you think it is good. I felt it was a bit jaded or boring (not sure washed-up is a good term). This is where my itchy fingers start manipulating with Photoshop. In real life the place looked lot more vibrant. I use film camera and have no means to preview what the camera sees.

The raw image was a little washed out and there was unmistakable noise in it, probably due to cheap scanning (I have learnt a lesson). While trying to fix the wash-out using PP, it seems to enhance the existing noise. I am going to follow the mantra from now not to PP unless I have no choice. Try to get a good image to start with. Thanks for your comments. I had no intention for the painted look.

I feel bad more because I let down such a beautiful work of nature than on myself.
