Ulrik,

I know you're in Norway and not Sweden, but this scene reminded me instantly of the movie The Seventh Seal. I like your conversion and in PP you retained great detail in the clouds as well as the shadows on the hill. If anything your masking is a little bit light around the boundaries of ground and sky, visible as a very slight halo especially around the center tree.

Don't know if it was your intent, but this scene makes me want to stroll through the grass and eat a bowl of strawberries.

Hehe, sweden works :P Thanks for your comment! I'll try to brush down the USM better on the next one! Just learning to use CS3 to do selective sharpening and other effects
