Both images shot in RAW. PP included crop, straighten horizon, NI, levels/curves, transparency brush to blend the two photos, clone to clean up a couple of scratches, save for Web.

The composite image is nice though I don't think it necessary just because Expert Editing allowed for it. I love the the base (original) shot and really think I'd have prefered it without the overlay. Still, nice composition and great tones.
