Comment by George:
The one problem I saw with the overlay was the clouds looked too grainy in the dark areas because of the texture. Try adjusting the overlay a bit and masking out the parts that turn the grainiest so the clouds look nice and smooth, like in this one. I really like both of them, I'm kind of split right now.

AWESOME clouds. Wonderful choice of composition. Lovely symbolism in the way they surround and dwarf the church. And yes, I like this better than the IR one. :-)

I love Shadow's shadow! And my Sir Thomas can get on top of doors... I don't know how he does that either. Like that bit of blue sky and the green of the mat. Topaz'd? Processing is very nice.

Now as someone from a rainy country the first thing that grabs me about this shot it how flat that porch is lol.
I'm guessing you don't get too much rain down there eh.
Nice pic I specially like the grain we can see in the timber and the presence of the cat adds a nice dimension

Wow! There's that incredible New Mexico sky I've come to know and love. The textures, colors, and the distortion from the wide angle view, and of course your processing all make this a great photograph.

Seriously, could you send some of that sky somewhere close to my place! Oh, how I envy such drama in the sky! The warm colours of the church make a like contrast to the stark colours in the sky. In all a very dramatic and well composed image! And although I like the touch of the postcard... I think this one could do quite well on it's own.

nice processing, and good job seeing the end result from your original. Thanks for sharing the original too, its nice to see a stark contrast from out of camera to final shot.
