Thanks: Gave 1,143, Got 1,013 | Two Paths and a Tree
I had a bit of a play with one of the photos I took last week and when my laptop finally decided that it could handle the pressure of three images open at the same time I finally managed to get it finished (three shutdowns due to overheating later)
I have ortonised the grass area and then replaced the sky with the original, a bit of levels, saturation and hue adjustment and thats your lot.
Don't rag me about the black borders because they are only there so I can get the picture directly off Flickr to enter into comps.
I quite like the dreamy quality (though I do think I am becoming a bit of a 'chocolate box' photographer) anyway, comments welcome 
Looks great Large and on Black

Nicely done Steve, colour of the grass is great, and like the sky also.
As Forest once said "life is like a box of chocolate"
