I could do without the haze around the border, but I do like the rest of the processing.

I like the processing on this Greetmir! Is there any way you could get the reflection of clouds into the windows up there? The title fits it perfectly too.

Well ... when I shot this ... the sky was TOTALLY cloudless ... I did a touch of light burning and dodging in the sky to make it a tad less bland. LOL

Thanks for the input, gang. Appreciate it!

I like the new technique. Feel like sharing a bit?

I like all the images you've shown but the last one seems weird up near the steeples (spelling?). It almost looks fake or maybe the sky put in, not sure...heck it could just be me. Still and awesome picture though. Good job.

Well these two are totally different techniques but ... if you like the first one ... a LOT of it is an action called Dave's Color Sketch ... available at //www.atncentral.com/download.htm ...

Well ... I think it is an optical illusion because I heavily Neat Imaged the sky but had the steeple masked out.

P.S. The sky had a LOT of noise in it from the extra saturation. Also there is a gradation on the church as the steeple was almost blown out.
