The blue sky is not a photoshop modification, it is a clear sky mid day in the clear desert with the use of a polarizer filter to maximize the effectiveness.
My 'new' signature:
beautiful ! I love the polarizing filter. That is what made the sky so blue in my tree that you wanted to see the top of. I love how blue it makes the shot. Nice contrast with the clouds and just enough land for balance. -do i have-

Thank you TTG. I like the effects of the polarizer in these situations, and dont mind using it fully. I like the look personally. The photo seems to have more impact than if you back off the polarizer in this situation. Tom Mackey wrote a book on "Photo's with Impact" that I took a cue from for the polarizer. I happen to agree with him. Im glad you like it, the focus is the sky in this shot so I wanted to leave out other distractions. What would you personally rate this one if you dont mind me asking?
Definitely 10. I just looked at the b/w one. I like this much better. I love the really blue sky contrast.-do i have-

Thanks K!, that's very kind of you. I'm glad you like the color one. Right now im doing some experimenting on some shots that i've been hesitant to post that I shot a bit ago. So feedback is very valuable. Learning alot more about Photo Shop. I appreciate it and I look forward to your re-shoot of that tree!
