Really nice set of images you put together in photoshop. IF you go into the channels and click on Blue channel, you notice thin white pixulated lines separating the foreground, mountain and sky. I count three separate images layered together to make one image.
One way to check for over manipulation is to open the photo in Lab Color, and go into the "b" channel. Blowing the photo up at least 200% or more, take a look and see what the patterns on areas of interest look like. Usually, overmanipulated areas can show quite apparently in the "b"
channel.
And yes, you have some truly great images. Great work! Me, being a photojournalist shooting for publications, I cannot build images.
