I got a chuckle out of the last one Jason, it almost looks like you cloned away the tree!
Really nice set, I like the first one the best of the set. You might want to run some nr on the sky in these. They aren't really noisey but it would smooth them out nicely
Thank you ALL for the kind comments and critique! I appreciate everyone taking the time to view my images.
Jason-
( Tim, I promise I didn't clone out the rest of the tree. I took your advice on the NR and will try to incorporate that into my future posts. Thanks for the advice.)
