You have done a marvelous job Owd Momma. Anytime you have Monument Valley in a photo, it is good. Surely there was a storm when the humid air of Louisiana met the hot dry air of Arizona.
Good work.
Good work.

Hopefully my photos and stories will let you know what makes me Tick
Excellent piece of work Momma. You have the lighting coming from the perfect angle and the colors and just spectacular.

Nice work, Pat. :o)
Well, in terms of scale ... think you got things just right. No visibly apparent mismatch on the pixel front between the sky and then that of the landscape.
And a very nice creative touch, with respect to the lighting. Particularly, that which emanates and starts to bleed in from the left-hand side.
The following is not a caveat per se, more an item of curiosity on my part ... and ... perhaps something to consider next time.
Might have been tempted to use the Warp function on the sky layer. Effectively 'pinching' it in some towards the midpoint to create some ... some, that is ... curvature of the clouds. For comparative and creative purposes.
That said ... and quite honestly, you did a wonderful job of blending the two photos. Take a bow, Mama ... you deserve it for your efforts here. :o)
And ... but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

One hardly notices the rocks/mountains as that brilliant sky attracts one's full attention. I find that glow from the setting sun coming out from behind the rocks on the left very nice. Very good manipulation, Pat - and that is my honest opinion.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Yay Pat, top notch manip, that's from someone who uses layer masks and blending layers all the time. That sky is to-die-for, Louisiana take a bow! I know why you only post the smaller images these days but that's my only fault with this shot, it's too small for my computer screen. :)) Mikel.

Legitimate leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.
Very dramatic, great blend.

Amazing colours in combination with those dark parts works for me. This post let you think if some changes would be better or not.. but for me, I like it how it is! Mich

Honestly? OK, I think it is very good. When I first saw it and without reading your narrative my first thought was "Wow, how lucky was Pat seeing this wonderful view?" I thought it was real to start with.

"If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it." W.C. Fields. So, keep trying to see My Gallery.
Honestly, I love the shapes on the horizon and the colours and textures in that sky are something else. The silhouette on the left takes up too much of the frame, but it's more than made up for by the drama you got here.

You do fantastic layer work, Pat. This is gorgeous. The Louisiana sky is fantstic, and I bet the people of Arizona would love to borrow it again sometime.
