Dougie, I really like your work, this is a great shot with a nice POV. If you dont mind me commenting, the one thing that lets this down is the blue resedue round the trees and the rock created when you cut the original sky out. It you select the shape to crop try "select" "Modify" Expand" and expand the selection by a few pixles. The other way to do this is create a duplictate layer "control and J" then add your background, then use the eraser to erase the original sky selecting a soft edge brush. There are tons of other ways ways to do this. Hope you dont mind as this is a great shot slightly let down by the p.p work.

Hi Douglas.
Very impressive picture. Fantastic coloured presentation. Excellent composition. Very well done. tfs. Stev

Surrealistic and very good
Like the compo and saturated colours
All a bit to much
But it makes the photo here

Douglas, you may not have done the sky 'perfectly' as you say but it really works well in this shot - I'd give it 3 if I could!
TFS, Neil.
