Thanks, Dave.
That is the original sky. Nothing added or removed frim the composition other than cropping in some to eliminate the farm house that was on the left. I was going to add some birds in the sky in the upper right but am trying to deal with this new “digital generation” that just appeared on everyone’s Photoshop Subscription software that I did NOT want to anything fake to this composition- One photographer used it for every photo he shared last night. He was honest with us and was sort of demonstrating the power of this NEW AI feature in Photoshop. But I see a rift developing between compositions that use these generated additives and those that do not. The results are so realistic and easy to do, It is going to become habit with most photographers. It will actually raise the bar and I am all for a challenge but somehow I feel like this REALLY IS CHEATING.
There is another feature that I wish I had in Lightroom or Photoshop and that is CONTENT AWARENESS. It does a nice job of extending perimeters where needed. Since I have such an old version of PS AND LR, I do not have those options to use. But if one is to keep up with the current evolution of photography, I may have to eventually have to join the movement before they pass me by.
Dave, the lighting and color in both of your photos was perfect today and yesterday was perfect. It appeared that you may have had an overcast day to capture the beautiful essence of these flowers. The faint soft purple in the background, like yesterday’s bark soft greens, enhances the composition much more than a solid black background. Nicely done a practically SOOTC image.
Time to clean the house.

PS. Hey, Don. You snuck in with this cute photo of your DW.
I am happy that your son is safe. Songs like he got lucky.
