It's always great for me to see what can be done! Being so new, sometimes I don't think to try different things. A lot of times, I don't think of the actual different things, lol! Thanks for having some fun with this and showing the results and giving the steps. I'll definitely keep them in mind to hopefully grown in my own skills. Thanks again!

the sky is very cool looking but it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the photo

Dang there's another one of these aMAZING photos with the dramatic smoke! This is AWESOME!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11. It only misses being a 12 because I think I might have cloned out the water tower and power lines -- but even so -- it is wayyyyy off the chart in outSTANDING!

Neil, you are so funny!!! As IF we would EVER get tired of your pictures of Kadence! I could look at her every day! BUT. ..this one: FANTASTIC!!!!!!

WOW!!!! What an incredible action shot! I am wild about smoke and fog in photos. They're so dramatic. But this one is the best of the best!!

I agree that the border really works well here. I normally don't like borders in general, but it really is a nice addition here. That's half the battle figuring out when a border works and when it doesn't. However, that's a small matter. The photo is stunning, the smoke, the lighting, the tonal range, the everything is right.

The think border really helps to make this image really stand out.....
