Beautiful clouds you have there, but you seem to have lost a lot of the detail in the land section. :shrug:

On a personal note, you brought back some sweet memories for me with this shot :love:

Images such as this need an ND grad filter to hold back the bright sky and allow the foreground to be properly exposed.
Have a look here.

Quick & dirty edit - Two copy layers of background. One set to screen for wooded areas (use mask) and another set to multiply for cloud definition (again layer mask).

Anyway, don't worry about my opinions Ray, I'm a newbie myself, half the time I don't feel like I know what I'm talking about :lol:
