Good shot, great technique. Don't you just love photoshop? Of course some may say pictures are becoming hyper-real. They sure are pretty though. -- Of course maybe with photoshop, our pictures are becoming more about what WE perceive, than what the camera perceives...

To form the image I selectively combined two shots from a +_1 stop bracket in Photoshop. I pasted the darker image over the brightest image, registered the images (set top layer opacity temporarily to 50%) and then set about selectively erasing the areas of the darker image (good sky) with a feathered brush at 25% opacity until I came up this: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2412599&size=lg It's not perfect but it gives me a lot of ideas for future images along the same vein particularly given that it was only hand held. Comments and criticisms welcome.
