Here is a screen print:
PS Elements 13, Nik Collection, Topaz Detail.
I tried to move the sheep several ways, finally settled on a rectangular selection box (copy/paste puts it in its own layer), then lots of erasing around the newly positioned family + cloning and spot healing brush for where it used to be.
Nik Viveza for more structure, Nik Color Efex graduated neutral density filter to darken sky, Topaz Detail "dreamy" for softer look, more saturation with sunlight and brilliance/warmth filters via Nik Color Efex. Last layer (top) is a way I learned on UHH to dodge/burn: new layer - overlay mode - low opacity (8 - 10% usually) soft brush using white and black in areas I want to lighten or darken.
Thank you!
