An orange or red would have made more impact on the sky but would have darkened all the foliage and I wanted that 'silvery' look that the green filter gives me. Although I darkened the sky from the scan that is about how it looked on the day. I don't always have good skies to shoot. It may seem that way but if the sky isn't good I don't shoot it :-) Thanks for looking. --Graham
