Well, lets see. A fake sky, several gently different layers of Simplify-cartoon, and Adjust-Spice (flattening in between) made this another keeper.
original:
The sky's not working, but I think you know that? I can help you with how to create a sky gradient that will be much more natural if you wish, PM me.
Like this, maybe.... For the sky, I mean, I didn'at attempt to duplicate your foreground processing. Mine was TA spicify with a lot of noise reduction thrown in.
Over all a very nice improvement! I'd use the original in a top layer with a mask just to bring back the impact of the poppies. In the original, the poppies jumped out at me, and in the finished photo, they seem to blend in. Nice job on the fake sky.
