A few weeks ago when we went to Lake Harriet and I got some good evening shots, I snapped this photo of a boat sitting on the bank.... then I realized you could see how pretty the sky was, but not the boat, so I changed exposure and snapped again.... dang it! Now I could see the boat but not the pretty sky. Well after some playing around in photoshop and using the ever so popular Layer Masks, I was able to combine the two shots and get the best of both worlds!!!
Here were the two before shots (both SOOC):
I kinda feel like a magician reveling my 'tricks' by showing you the before shots.... hee hee
There is editing somewhat like this called HDR, which I will venture into at a later time... I'm still trying out various 'free trials' to see what I like best. And with this shot, the HDR just wasn't working since my different shots were NOT taken on a tripod and the leaves are VERY tricky to line up properly. Stay tuned....

Nice job! I saw that HDR post too and thought it looked too hard. You did an amazing job without it!
