I liked the way the trees came down to a point, guess that is why I stopped for this shot. A friend suggested using HDR once in awhile, so this is a try at it.
Considerable tonal range in this gorgeous scene, Carol.If you used the Curves tool on the sky, you might drag it just a little bit less from the top. You probably already know just how sensitive that tool is, and just a fraction from the top corner should handle the clouds without darkening the sky very much.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
