Try this for the sky. first creat a duplicate layer. Use the rectangular select tool to create a border. The bottom edge of the larger clouds at the top is where I would start. Goto select and inverse. Back to select then select feather and set the feather setting to about 50. Select the brush tool and set the master diameter to about 400. Set the Brush Hardness to about 20% or lower and then just start painting around the border a few times making sure to release the brush tip on each pass. Once you're satisfied, find the opacity setting (usually at a 100% before adjusting) in the layers palette. Play with it until you get the effect you want. There are other ways to gradiet the sky...possibly the gradient tool. Hope this helps.

Those eyes do look nasty...love the detail in the fur and again great use of depth of field.

The angle of the clouds trees and the row of uncut hay works well with the curved cut hay. Angles also help to create a feel of motion or things about to go in motion if they're not already in motion...great kids!

I like the perspective like you are an animal on the ground and this is your perspective. Beautiful scene with complementary golds and blues. Simple but very pretty.

LOVE the vivid colors and almost over saturation. Great perspective. The natural leading line of this is terrific! The sky is amazing as well.
