HDR would not have put clouds in the sky, nor gotten rid of the distracting branch.

Feb 18, 2016 03:17 | #8 PP is very well done...as hindsight, I might have worked the scene a bit more to get rid of the foliage. The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

David, that is a fantastic post-processing result you have there. It has inspired me to revisit all my similar Sedona area pics from 2011 and do an update. Thanks for posting this.

Apr 14, 2016 13:33 | #11 Sorry, but for me lighting on the sky is from different direction or time of the day and possibly lens angle then lighting on the rocks, making it look fake. Try to build collection of skies from different light angles, times of the day and lens lengths, then you will be able to match any scenario.

Apr 22, 2016 12:22 | #13 Another step to take would be to take the background, duplicate it and place that on the top of the foreground layer. Then Guassian blur it to get rid of hard details of the clouds but retain colors. Then change the blend mode to it to overlay the colors to help match the sky colors, this helps sell the image as authentic.
