Nah mines plural ;)

Ridg - I would do that if I knew how to!



increased the yellow on a hue saturation layer, added a 50% grey layer then used calculations on the blue to create a mask for the sky, duplicated the layer gaussian blue 5 pixel changed to soft light blending mode, shadows/highlights then add a new layer set to multiply draw on a gradient to darken the top part of the sky.

is easier to apply a graduated filter in camera raw or LR :undecided:

very true, both do this much quicker, and you've got post crop vignette in both; PS gives you much more control other the darkening / lightening

If it was actually my image then I'd have added the gradient in CR (during the raw conversion stage).

Loads of ways to skin a cat though.

We got some chickens recently, so I went up the garden with the 50mm and the 70-300, cranked down the F-stop and shot them fowl last night:













Some of those *may* have had a little work on the levels.

Thanks.

The orange birds are Columbians.  All they say to each other is 'eeeeeeeeeh, gringo'.  The Light Sussex doesn't know what to make of it.

Proabably worried they're drug smuggling cartel gangstas and just trying to keep out of their way.
