All the stars in the sky got lost in low res conversion

Dave, Nice blending! I like the colors and the composition is great!! I think you captured the idea behind the theme. Well done, and thanks for sharing your work -flow as usual!!

Hey Dave, Love the surreal look to the image. Placement of the moon is effective with the tree on the right balancing the image. Colors are intense and grab ones attention immediately.The owl in the tree is a nice touch!

thanks you Denise and Dave.....appreciate the kind positive comments.

A fantastic composite. I never noticed the owl until Dave mentioned it. You work so creatively. Well done mate!
