Wow Richard, nice work! I think you may be right about the sky. There really was not sky in the original so I was trying to give it some pizzaz. Too much I guess, and I was getting fringing around the leaves. I like what you did with it, though maybe a hair too saturated for my tastes, unless going full blown 50's technicolor, which does not seem to suit this specific image. I like the way the path leads into the image, but if at least 2 of you find it to be a distraction, I'll axe it. Here is the unretouched original to play with if anyone is interested.
