I did the best I could do on touch ups per suggestions working on a dry painting. I agree the sky looks more natural, but graying down the distant hill appears to have lost the "light I was wanting demonstrating the sun on those areas". I am assuming I just need more experience with values and temperature to pull that one off properly. Thank you everyone for your comments and your help. I appreciate it very much!!!!! Roena

Beautiful Roena !  The softer background helps us to come backto the focal rocks and reflected sky. You tackled a very hard subject and its a winner !

Excellent rework Roena!!!!   The far mountain is perfect ... don't mess with it ... the value and temperature are just fine in the context of the light.  Also, don't stress about the background hill ..it is not the subject of this painting ..no need for extra detail there.  If we paint like the eye actually sees ... standing there, we would not even notice that background hill ... especially any detail ..unless we were actually focusing on it.  Anyway, I like you reworking of the edges... good lost and found and softening where required.    One thing Roena ... cast shadows on the ground are lighter then you think ..they are cool due to the reflections from the sky ...they still take on the color (darker) of what it lays on, but sky color would reflect into it ... anyway, that cast shadow is too dark.  Okay, just one more thing .... as the warm light hits the ground, it bounces up as warm reflections into anything near by ..so .....throw some warm reflected light into those bushes on the right.  The foreground is so good ..it sets the tonal range for the whole painting .. great work Roena, congratulations!! :)))
