Taste thing really but personally I'd bring a bit more out of the shadows and do a touch more with the colours and sky - it's a nice sharp image but the colouring is a bit dark and flat for me.
Viewing it bigger is well worthwhile though and I think you've got a decent image there, just needs some fettling.

I agree with tenohfive. There's worthwhile fettling potential in there I think. (At least as viewed on my screen there is).
I think I would start with lifting the darks a tad and reducing the lights over all. Then lift the middle tones and see what that gives you.
I suspect that the middles need a little stretching up and down to deliver a bit more colour separation mostly in the greens to add details.
Something like that.
BTW your EXIF data suggests that one was shot with the 24-105 rather than the Samyang. Both goos lenses. I suspect 14mm would have been a bit wide to get much of the Dam line visible at that distance.
Thanks for the advice chaps - will have a bit more of a play.. and yes i was lying it was the 24-105! I think I would start with lifting the darks a tad and reducing the lights over all. Then lift the middle tones and see what that gives you.

I took a lot of photos at last weekends Red Bull Air Race that I need to dig through in order to weed out the keepers. This one whilst not the greatest photo in the world jumped straight out at me.
I can see everything from up here Dad by realjv, on Flickr

Another day, another play with the IR converted J1, this camera is definitely looking like a keeper.

Not something I have ever seen on the Trent. Time trials or is there a mass start?
Presumably the rollover protection is worth having because they race in shallow water?
Time trials, usually running 1 minute gaps. Basically rallying on water.
Shallow water, obstacles like trees and river banks, they're often shifting along at 100mph+ so when things go wrong they go wrong fast! Also if the engine stops then you have no steering...
Quite different to the short-course jetsprints which are more common, but both forms are fun to watch.
