Are the yellow hues normal? I would expect a little more blue.

Thanks Mike! give it a try! I was suprised at the results considering the altitude. I have reprocessed it as like you mention it seems to be lacking the blue tones to the outer regions...maybe due to extinction of the blue tones closer to the horizon? Have reprocessed it to give it a more natural look!
cheers Gary...

Great image, simple and effective.

Thanks Ingo...has that more blue look to it now!..
Could have exposed it a bit longer but being very low I would end up with a bit of LP and gradients to deal with so kept them to 2 min.
cheers Gary
