roz, I absolutely love the colors in your sky. You've achieved a kind of watercolor effect, and it's quite beautiful. I'd be interested in knowing how you accomplished a couple of things in your work flow. How did you erase NN? And, what do you mean by selective sharpen? Do you mean you selected an area and then sharpened?
