Richie this is the work of a master! It is not just the hours of PS work – it is knowing that magic moment when to stop – the point where perfection has been reached and any more would ruin it. Just the best.

You are amazing Richie! This post work is just so fine, it really looks like a painting on the left hand side before transferring back into the photograph on the right.
That bequtifully etched sky and the distant sun lit hills are superb and I love the way the fence curves round and into the shot.
