I've about reached the end of my current abilities in regards to processing. I'm feeling the need to take a class and gain some more ground in this area.
Does anyone have any tips on getting anything more out of this image? I want it to still look realistic and not like I've done any major processing or special treatments. I'd like it to be "natural" yet look its best. I've already done some stuff to it. Maybe I've just looked too long and it looks fine? What do you think? It's a simple image...maybe there's not much more that can be done.

You could add some drama to it. And try to draw the viewer's attention to the
swing. Maybe something like this:

Drawing attention to the swing is a good idea.

Well, thank you very much for these ideas! To be honest, I guess I thought the mountain should be emphasized, but I did include the swing on purpose and I can see that giving it some prominence gives the photo a stronger focal point.
