Thanks for looking!
All c&c welcome!

Great colors and I like the silhouette effect. I find my eyes bouncing back and forth between the birds on the left and the tree on the right. May consider removing one of them...but that's just my opinion. Wonder what others think...this is OOTB.

Hi, Nick, thanks for comments!
Maybe you're right. Birds - added later.

Mihail, I love the colors and the pano crop. Nice work merging the images. I might tone down the dark area at the bottom left just above the horizon if it were mine. I like this very much, nice blurred look.:)

Denise, thanks much for comments and suggestions. If I look better, I think you're right. Displayed image is "extracted" (and processed) from this panorama:

Beautiful Mihail!:)

Thank you very much Denise, you me indebted!

I love them both but on the top image, I'd try content aware scale to bring the birds closer in towards the tree by cutting out some of the middle pixels. It might be worth a try if you have CS4!

Man, those colors are something! Did you do much to bring them out or was this pretty much the way you saw it in field?

Hi Mihail, Stunning colors! Love the pano crop and the blur. Repost with just the tree looks good.

Hi Julie, Christopher, thanks for coments and goodwill! Your suggestions matter to me.
Julie, here one image components - negative:

Gee, Mihail, both versions are beautiful. I do like how you pumped up the colors, though...so incredible to look at!

Thanks Julie!
When I put hands on potentiometers cursors (especially the colors), like crazy, can not stop me anybody!
