This kind of grass grows where I live too, and it is difficult to get levels right for sky and ground with it, as you have posted. You may be able to get it right out of the box with a gradient filter on the camera when shooting. It's one of the most useful things to have in your outdoor kit.
You have many outstanding photos of people in your portfolio. You're good at seeing, or arranging, and then capturing the right moment. |

| Try this for the sky. first creat a duplicate layer. Use the rectangular select tool to create a border. The bottom edge of the larger clouds at the top is where I would start. Goto select and inverse. Back to select then select feather and set the feather setting to about 50. Select the brush tool and set the master diameter to about 400. Set the Brush Hardness to about 20% or lower and then just start painting around the border a few times making sure to release the brush tip on each pass. Once you're satisfied, find the opacity setting (usually at a 100% before adjusting) in the layers palette. Play with it until you get the effect you want. There are other ways to gradiet the sky...possibly the gradient tool. Hope this helps. |

| I like the perspective like you are an animal on the ground and this is your perspective. Beautiful scene with complementary golds and blues. Simple but very pretty. |
