This is what most of the island is like: mostly dense rainforests, (below is a waterfall and a stream which can't be seen from this vantage point), and some grassland. There are countless waterfalls on Kauai, which we could easily spot from the air.
I am really likeing the CS2 Camera Raw which can be opened right from Bridge. I find myself using the new curves adjustments (in raw) for more complex mid-tone adjustment which I previously acomplished by importing the image into photoshop and applying levels or curves. Curves can be a bit more intimidating than the simpler "levels", but it offers significantly more control. I am hooked.

I love the depth you can see in the trees in the lower half. Looks like you were pretty high up!
And I hate to say it, but this could benefit from a polarizer to darken the sky, or maybe an ND grad filter (if you believe in those sorts of things ;-) Otherwise, it's quite a good composition.
