Description 2xp manual blend in CS3.

I originally took a bracket of 3 exposures (+/-2EV) with the intention of doing an HDR, but I decided to take the +2EV exposure, as it exposed most of the shot how I wanted it (well lit rocks/moss & nice misty water motion from the longer exposure), and blend it with the -2EV exposure for the sky. But the -2EV exposure was very dull and didn't bring out much colour in the sky so I changed the layer blend mode to linear light and the pinks started popping out (bit of a random fluke really). I still don't like the fact that the highlights in the top right corner are blown but it kinda suits the image...almost.

Anyway, that's enough PP for this one.

Thanks. Although I confess I "accentuated" what was already there in post.
