I like isolated trees. I also like gradients made by distance - be it hills, or trees or anything else. A little too centralised principal subject perhaps? 2000th/sec f/6.3 18mm
Photoshop has a gamma adjustment where your monitor can be calibrated to show colors correctly, as well as black & greys - the way they will print. If you want more control, there's a Gamma program from Germany, I believe it's free on the net.
Ina, thanks as ever for your astute comments. You are right about a number of things: first, I need to calibrate my new monitor with one of those devices one attaches to the screen. Second, I need to check out my graphics card just to be sure. And most important (and obvious) I need to resist the temptation to oversaturate in PS for "pop", which I am rather too fond of, playing with these jpgs (I NEVER change the original RAW file thank goodness). Finally, I need to spend a lot more time learning more than merely crude tweaks in PS, which I've been doing far too often recently! I find your input invaluable and am grateful for them as always.

The sky is lovely, the yellow too, the tree is not too central to the composition, but I see some very blue, almost purple ghosting in the tree. The far away trees are green at the base and blue on top. I'm not saying this as a criticism, but you may want to check your monitor gamma, or your software, or see your image from another comp. This may explain the bluish blacks in the other picture. It looksto me like a software thing, not a camera problem.
