Funny, now I look at it it does look out of place. I didn't actually want to modify the image its-self if I could help it. Just seems like cheating :D

I like it. The crop def tidys the whole image up and that purpley tint you've put over it adds quite a pleasing mood to it. what is that effect?

It's a sepia photo filter straight from Photoshop.

don't worry about it being cheating, the biggest cheat of all, is turning a picture into black and white.

I took it out to see hat it looked like and also brought a bit of detail back in the sky.  You pretty much nailed it.

very nice pics mate.

the first pic is darker, is it because of the camera, or was it actually darker skywise.
