m0rnstar was so gracious as to let me fool around with her lovely image and trim the tree branch over her original GOLD GO HERE TO VIEW I know she approved most of it as we had some communication behind the scenes on this one.. so here's to you, my friend. I hope you like the final result :)

This is very good shot! I never saw the first one, but the overall color tone on this one is good, the contrasts and silouettes are very intricate and pleasing to the eye, and the dock draws the eye into the frame. On my screen, the dock is a bit blurry at full-size, but I was drawn to this shot as soon as it popped up...very nice!

PJ, I put both shots on my viewer and went back and forth to see the difference and its amazing the way you cloned the branch out. I only have a small editing program and I'm not very sufficient at cloning, but trying. You did a great job on it. Terry

This is a fantastic job. How the heck did you do that though assuming the tree was all the same layer, would'nt rubbing the branch out leave a blank spot on the picture? This picture is well outa my league.lol. I am sure the origonal artist would be extremly pleased with this result, having seen the first that was a good picture on its own. Well done

I knew there was greatness in this photo and you, my dear PJ, have "uncovered" it. Thank so much for this re-work - it's just perfect and it's really the beginning of my journey here at Caedes. Big hugs! ~Mary~
