Progress on Flier

So I've started designing and advertisement flier. I have a prototype I'm not sure if I like it well enough yet. Below is my process and where I'm at with it.  Comments and suggestions are welcome!

I started with this picture that I took a couple years ago atUtah Lake. I opened it in photoshop


I just did a generic edit - color, saturation, exposure, and pixel cleanup. I changed the color scheme to Bitmap (only black and white colors are used in this mode.) Then I adjusted the tones until the shadows and highlights were doing what I wanted. I added the black and white border by subtracting a portion of the picture and filling it with white. The edge has a white stroke line.
I added text in InDesign, just because there are more options for the formatting of text in that program. This is what I have so far. It would be printed on glossy paper and be roughly 5x10. It's pretty simple, and if it is too simple then let me know.
I'll keep playing with some other designs.
