I like this photo, and how the bottom half turned out. However, I'm a bit conflicted on the upper portion of sky. I didnt purposely create the graduated tones - they were present on the original. Do you think it adds interest and/or balance in this case, or do you think I should attempt to remove the color or by changing it somehow - either by crop or photoshop? I'm also a bit uncomfortable with the grain as it appears there, as it's not really evident in other areas of the photo and creates for me a bit of a "disconnected" feeling in the overall treatment from top to bottom. Again, that isnt there by intention.
(I have photoshop 7.0 on my system, but have been a little intimidated to dig in and make use of it. If there's something that could be done to improve this photo using that program, maybe some simple and constructive PS pointers would be great. Thank you!)
