i got this dark sky effect by using adjustment layers in levels, channel mixer and curves and darkened and added contrast etc etc etc ... i erased in the adjustment layers where it darkened the land so that area remained lighter ...
i desaturated using adjustment layer in hue/sat ... used the kodak airbrush to get rid of a bit of the noise ..
after Valeriy's comment i dodged the clouds .. i probably could've done more .. opinions are appreciated .
You are winning!! I really like this, I like the soft, lacy look of the clouds, I don't feel the sky needs anything else you've done a fine job on them. I would prefer to have the forground a bit sharper (hand held?) and the tree in the forground is a tiny distraction. Overall though a great shot and nice processing.
very nice sky effect- I think you have a nice workflow to get this dreamy sky. The ground is a little soft of focus to me - maybe the slow shutter speed - was this hand held? or tripod?.
Oh Roz! This is so PRETTY! I am in love with perspective shots, and yours here showing those tiny little houses makes this so awesome! I love your smoothe dreamy sky. I love everything about this one!
