Thanx so kindly for the complimenting words every one, really appreciate the feedback & glad you found it worthy
Just a bit of insight to the captures as both had very different circumstances, as the 1st Image was only a single exposure luckily because of the shaded dark location & the general surroundings were favourable for a single !
The 2nd Image was quite a different kettle, tho enjoyable challenge as this location was heavily lit up in the foreground & I needed four exposures to capture the dynamic range, the fun started with PS and layer exposure blending : )
Here are the four oridginal Images, tho I have cropped a bit of the top with the Final !, Hope you find it interesting ,,
