I agree with Alan, your image after masking is much improved. I have played with the new masks a bit, mostly with the sky mask, but haven’t started duplicating, adding, subtracting, inverting etc. I have basically zero experience with photoshop so this is a whole new world for me. I appreciate the inspiration provided by your example. Stan
