the nerve of you...manipulated?????? HA. i have never manipulated an image in my life.......NOT
i generally shoot skies for stock and use them when i have an image with a dull look as this one had. this image required a lot of masking, dodging, burning and careful cloning to get the reflection. there are still a number of areas that need attention. i thought this sky worked well with the setting. thanks for the comment.
