Got a crew together and cleaned up a bunch of the fallen leaves.

My "crew" was me trying to be funny. My crew was just me relaxing on the reclining sofa with my mac laptop doing its thing using Photoshop's crew that made exceptional tools.

Some impressive entries thus far. I've just gone for for light touches here and there and more of a landscapy format. Not done sky replacements before (still haven't) but it seems there's a lot in there that I can't find.
Maybe have another go later in the week.

Don't know the software you have but if you have a Highlights adjustment control, lower them. The sky in this image will come around with added detail.
