Curvemeister Forum

I have made 3 passes on this image.
#1 - Man from mares move
#2 - With the blue channel mask - increased the blue in the sky (played with the b curve)
#3 - Choose the lightness as mask, inverted it and changed the shadows color cast to neutral

If you still have access to the sky layer you might wan to visit the color.  I have a very greenish cyan sky.  The MFM move is good but again the greens are a bit over the top.  I like the shadow move but it somehow leaves the stones looking flat.  maybe a bit more contrast there or possibly a CMYK -K
channel move to help the blacks.

I like the way you have approached this...I think it is a very good solution.  Try using the sky pins on the sky mask they help keep the color on the blue side of cyan.  I would also think about using the L channel mask, on a layer set to screen mode, and see if you like the results better.  I found less color cast in the image after that kind of move...

I loves the screen with lightness mask idea.
I also blurred the mask and used the layer mask for the smart filter (that was used to make the sky blue).

The sky has gone totally cyan...if you can go back into the sky mask layer and try out one of the sky pins in the hature folder you might like the results a bit better.
