Thanks for the observation and taking the time to let me know I will look to rotate the layer and/or lighten up the right side of the clouds.

on1 does a great job of masking and layering, doesn't it?
As a long time NIK user, who paid about $400 for the package, I was disappointed to see its demise after Google butchered the acquisition. I struggled to keep NIK afloat but Photoshop CC basically killed NIK. ON1 has about 90+% of the NIK features and does them better. It is just the time needed to learn a package. I sense Macphun is even better but right now LUMINOUS is strictly on MAC with PC to come. I use both MAC and PC.
But yes - ON1 is terrific and I am still learning.

Thanks for the feedback - I feel a large print just needs something besides blue sky - 45 inches is a lot of blue. Otherwise I am with jacamar and do not do doctoring. I just wanted an eagle picture and felt there was just too much blue for a 45 inch wide print.
