Default Floating Village

Before

Floating Village (1 of 2)

After

Floating Village (2 of 2)

Updated version (more sand detail)

floating village3

My first time. (Please be gentle )

Added a new sky. Curves.
Lots of curves on the main photo.
My question: does the new sky look believable with the main image? Iflipped the sky left to right to get the bright sky over the bright water.
Thanks

I really like what you did with the sky. Definitely an improvement, but I like the sandy beach on the original more than the edited version. If the lower left quadrant seems overexposed and it blows out the detail.

I think you did an awesome job. The colors of the houses really pop! But I do agree with Sandman about the sandy beach. Great job!

agreed with the others, try to mask out the curves on the foreground so it's not as overexposed.
Great job on the sky though.

I would combine the sky of the "after" with the water of the "before".
