Maybe not a problem but would be nice to see what could be done of a picture like this.  Often you do not know the problems you have. Should be thankful for that:)
Here's what I would do with it. (I'd obviously fix these jpeg artifacts, or avoid them in the first place; this is a quick job I did on this, only spending a few min.)

Wow jacobolus..
I must say this is a stunning version of Thomas's Scotland picture. Very dramatic. I like it. Did you do it all in CM?

Can only agree with the wow. How did you do it?

Jacob's Ladder...is my bet...

Another fine correction Jacob!

Jacob's ladder is a technique outside of CM that uses some of the "features" of the color curves window to give you some serious color control.  I will say that this is not for the meek..It is a powerful technique and well worth the exploration.
