Seems fine and quite nice to me.
How do you think you've overdone it, if I may be so bold? Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Hi MT,
This image looks good to me. Mind if we see the original? That way we may be able to give better judgement on whether or not it's over done ![]() Geoff

Thanks for the positive feedback.
Heres the photo i started with: ![]() Processing involved blending three different exposures of the same image (original photo was RAW file). One exposure to darken sky a little, another for the midtones and another to bring out some detail in the shadowed lower right of the pic. All photos were merged using layer mask and blurring filter in photoshop. I tweaked the contrast of the sky a little before merging. Once all three exposures were merged i did some overall curves adjustment. I wasn't sure whether or not i oversaturated the sky.
Looks great

I think it is great, but in fact, prefer the uncropped version, as it adds to the size of the landscape. My opinion only

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
All good in my eyes - you started with a nice shot to begin with too!
