Replacing Clouds behind Trees - Youtube Rick Peterson

I watched this youtube video, from Rick Peterson showing how to place clouds behind trees. My first attempt is shown below, using a picture of trees I took in northern Michigan (Roscommon), and clouds from a picture my son took in Denver last year. I am pretty sure I will have to practice the procedure quite a few times to commit it to memory, but was pretty impressed as to how it was done in the video.

I have watched many of his videos... He is an excellent teacher and his lessons are very well planned out...

The camera doesn't lie, but the computer sure as hell can.

You did a nice job, this is something I need to . Watched the vid and it is a bit daunting but I’m gonna give it a go as soon as time allows.
Thanks for posting.

I actually watched the video on my iPad, while doing the work on the computer, this allowed me to pause or back up and try again. My second attempt I caught myself trying to skip ahead of the video, and it was easy to forget steps. I agree quite daunting, but something I will use in the future, as there is always that blown out overexposed sky that just doesn’t fit in with what I wanted out of the photo.
