Steve - lol, never heard of CD artwork. But I love the square shape. I am so new to this that I hadn't considered changing the shape other than 6x4 type size. I do love what you've done thankyou.
Flavio - wow awesome sky - how do you do that? Is it brought in from another picture? It makes a big difference. I love what you've done.
Thanks to you all for your advise and help.

Assuming you have PS or The GIMP, adding artificial clouds is not a difficult task.
First you make a new layer. Then you apply the filter-render-cloud-solid effect to the new layer. Then you make a mask to the new layer and mask out the relevant parts of the image. Then you chamge from normal mode to lighten (or darken) only and reduce the opacity to about 50%. Flatten image and that's it!
BTW, your last version is looking better. I am personally not a real fan of vignetting. As a rule of thomb it is suggested to put the subject way from the center of the image.
All best!
