Sometimes a topic just dosn't do a thing for me so I tried an approach that might bring a little extra drama to what I think is a boring subject. Went out late in the afternoon just before sunset on a really nicely cloudy day and looked for a simple fence where I could use the sky as a backdrop. The widest lens I have is the 18-55 kit lens and although alot of people don't like it much, I've always found it does a nice job in the right conditions.
Crop is pretty close to out of camera.
Fair anount of Saturation and Curves adjustments.
Dodge and burn
Selective neat image in the sky for minor grain
Minor cloning
A great new tool for me called Focus Magic
