This image is a combination of two photographs merged in PS. The sky shot with the trees was very bland, so I spiced it up with a more colorful sunset.
Excellent PS work. I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me. Are the slight reflections off some of the branches any indication of the previous sky?
im not even going to ask how you did that...and the reflections off the the branches (camerahound pointed out) add a very errie-like feeling. Man this is some really good work!
Thanks for all your wonderful comments.
The white specks are remnants of the original sunlight on the trees. I was going to remove it but thought it added more life and depth to the picture.
VERY! VERY! nice. i tried to make something like that but not only failed horribly but also forgot to undo the resize so it looked horrible. hah nice image. very nice colors and use of plantlife
moment of silence please for those who never get the chance

The colours are dramatic, the sky shot is very dramatic ... the results; priceless.
Ok, that may be a little over the top, lol. Nice clean work, and I think in particular for having 'seen' the end result first, that is truly 'commendable,' to echo one of the above comments.
Any possibility of seeing the before sunset alone. That image alone is incredible, and I would love to see it. Hmm, how about creating links to the two seperate images, a number of people have done that on the site and I really appreciate being able to see these.
Just a request, and it takes nothing away from a great piece.
