Good editing on this - really brought out the colors without creating a lot of noise (I need to learn to use those noise reducing tools!) The crop gives it a kind of lonely feel, compared to the original with the house in it. The lights are just sort of guardians, but you con't know what it is they're guarding - I like that.

Good save Rob, and yes, the power lines that seem to be everywhere I want to point my lens are a real pain to edit out, esp when they cross thru things besides clouds. I think that in the finished shot, the clouds look great, so PP wins lots of points for a good job with that. You started with a tough one to repair, and ended with a pretty good save.

hi rob ... and WOW ...i love the process you've done with this ... i love that sky .. you've made an amazing sky awesome!!! and those fantastic silhouetted brances you've been able to intensify sooooooo well ...
i really really liked the original .. that dark scene on the road with the shadows and the light in the house which you've cropped out ... this scene'd be open to a few different approaches and because its a great shot to start with they could all work equally well ..
