Balvaird Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

Balvaird Sunset

            You ever think a photo won't take you long to edit... then 2 hours later you emerge victorious... after the silliest wee detail gets hold of you and you spend 40min watching U tube trying to figure out how to do a technique! I was blending two exposures with this but when I worked them I was getting this annoying aqua blue line round the castle... not sure why... and id not noticed when it appeared .... anyway I worked out how to limit it. 

I did see another video about masking and cloning... but I don't really understand about masks... I get the concept and logic... but I don't have a clue how to work with them... something I need to learn one day. 

In my last edit from here many made the comment I'd made the foreground too light... on reflection you where right and I think this more represents how it was.

Anyway... I had not posted a landscape in a while so I thought I'd post another from an after work night out at Balvaird Castle. Cloudless sunsets are hard to work with!
