Very good pal!
Only one problem though...
That EXACT scene is visible in REAL LIFE, every time I visit my stepmother. 
Something I'd rather not remember...

Cracking shot Mark. The picture of the moon is spot on and very sharp. Then overlaying the silhouette finishes it off. Very atmospheric. I like it.

Yes I definitely like it Mark, was looking at it for a while before I could put my finger on what made it work for me. The conclusion I came to was that the moon was so nicely detailed and it contrasted brilliantly with the very plain crow silouette. Well whatever, it's certainly a nice piece of work

Thanks Bill, did you mean the light part on the thick branch to the left of the birds? 
I didnt notice the small branch at the bottom to be honest, it was just really a quick mess about in PS, which turned out nicer than i expected

After a few "me-too's" I tend not to post more,
but that is a cracking "photo", Mark.
Food for thought there. |

yes mark that the one the branch in the middle dont get me wrong its a cracking image it was just a couple of pernickity points to help improve the image the stick down towards the right side you only notice if looking for things.

If anyone else is interested in playing around with effects like Marks, this months Digital Photo Magazine has a range of video tutorials which cover this type of work.
When you watch them, it's simply amazing what you can do with an image.
I've had a go converting one of my images from bright day light shot to a spooky night scene. Works really well.
My only problem is I can never remember what I've just done, so I have to watch the videos every time I want to use any of the effects.  |
