The
first thing I did to
theis image was to add a
new layer over the
original image and then
use the gradient tool to
add a black to
transparent fade from
top to bottom, I then
used the layer Blending
Options to make the
layer opaque so the the
cloubs were visible
through the gradient,
this gave the impression
of night falling.
Secondly I selected the
first few inches of the
foreground and then
feather my selection so
that an adjustments
faded into the image.
Once I had my selected
area I used an
Adjustment Layer -
Curves to darken the
foreground which further
lead you up into the
image, simple but (I
think) effective.
