This was more fun than I expected. When I first saw it, I was disappointed as I don't have much expert editing skills So I too this image of a tree in the fog and made it look like expert, but used advanced editing. I wasn't very happy with it.
So I went back to the drawing board. The three frames before the main on here included a bird flying from the tree. I took that bird and moved him to the left of the tree, and expanded his size significantly. Then I blended the layers a bit to make it look like the bird was in the fog (and to help hide my terrible masking skills).
I then was mostly happy, but didn't like the tree edit. So I started over with that, and came out with something that looked much more natural, with good pop. I replaced my background layer, and this image was born.
I bet if I asked 100 people on the street, 99 of them would think this was just a photo. Very few would inspect closely enough to see that the birds were added later.
