Beautiful. And I'm glad you put in the location.
Love the colors. Well composed.
If you have the option of some views from lower down, they miht be nice as well.
You can post 800 long edge on FM for easiest viewing.

! I shot that exact shot when I was there!
That's one heck of a climb up there isn't it.
So did you turn around and shoot the beach stretch and the city also? lol

Very nice composition and image nicely processed. I could suggest a few tweaks and post an example if you wish. However, the changes would be minor.

I have the same shot, since I live here. Since the perspective is the same as any tourist can get (or resident, like myself), it's nothing special. Good shot to keep for memories, though.

Oh, that would be great Aunti, would you?

ComSoup, It must be wonderful to live in Honolulu, traffic was pretty bad though. Worse than Atlanta sometimes.

Silva, would you mind posting an example?

Here's a version (derived from the larger original) with the following PP:

1. Unsharp mask 100% at 0.3 pixels, threshold 1.
2. Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Master) with a Hue of +13.
3. Another Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Yellow) with a Saturation -30.
4. A Color Balance adjustment layer, Magenta/Green of -15.
5. Resized to 800 pixels length.

(Obviously steps 2 and 3 could be combines into one layer, but I've used two layers to better explain the tweak.)
