Description
No grunge per se, but I was able to use a few things I've learned in the grunge process to bring in a puffy cloud background where there was none, use a layer mask to pop the crows or starlings out and fiddle with opacity.
Thanks for looking...layers do have a lot to offer if you've not used them before.
Bill:)
It was my intent to do some blending of the cloud layer and the tree layer...for a different effect.

A very artistic capture, if it was not for the cloud overlay over the trees I wouldn't have guessed that the clouds arn't naturally there, but I really like the effect it gives, verys smokey and mysterious!!!
Look like starlings. I like the clouds and the bird images, but the tree looks suspect.
fantastic capture and beautiful work...splendid sky..!!!
