Stark Tree

It was getting late in the afternoon when I took Pepper out - a grey day that had little colour anywhere. I'd had issues with wifi for the last of my photoshop flower course which didn't help with the understanding of the Blend If concept. I watched more tutorials and began to get some understanding of what it can achieve,  This strange image is the same tree with about eight different shots blended normally in PS layers. I then gave the new 'replace sky' feature a try - amazing.  I could have used a 'nice sunset' but that seemed rather out of place.  I have started collecting different skies to use as it would not be allowed in any competitions to have elements not taken by me.  An exception in this case as it is experimental and not for anything serious.
