Based on Mahesh and Dan's suggestion to blend and see more of the scene; I am re posting the 'enhanced' version of the original pics found here. I don't know if it is any better but they are actually different photos and reworked with more of the foreground. Suggestions; too much the same as the original or can't tell a difference?

    This reworked first image is the best one yet, I think. Great job!
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Don't really know why but I'll stick with the first picture from the original post. The darker of the 4. The more 'enchanted' even if it was loaded with spiders and ticks and....... rolleyes1.gif

    Just a bit too much light in all the others IMHO.

    I think I like these ones more as well. The first one, in particular, is very nice.

    The first gives me a mood of being in a rainforest. I can hear birds. The mood is good.

    The second one I hear city life in the background. Feels like a park in the middle of the city.

    Just my thoughts off the cuff.

    I really like the 1st redo in this post. It captures a nice sense of fog & mystery. However, I find myself distracted by the brightly lit thin branch close to the center horizontally and bottom 1/3'rd vertically of the pic. Looks almost like a hair on the picture. IMHO, cloning it out would help.

    I debated if that should remain or be taken out. I thought I ought to leave it to show the kinds of things in the trees. Hmmmm... food for thought....thanks much and glad you mentioned it!!!!!
