sorry about your PC Debi and good luck. Hope you get it back up and running - this is a wonderful scenic shot!

Thanks Mary- Nainital is in North India and is an old Britsh outpost. I personally liked the lack of details in the background as it looked dreamy. Right now my PC has crashed and I dont have PS on this ancient laptop. So will try out your suggestion later

What a remarkable vista, Debi! Where is Nainital? One suggestion: if you select the background area and then decrease the brightness (luminosity) and increase the contrast, you might be able to bring out more of the details in the distance. Be sure to change the "feathering" to 100 or 200 so there isn't an obvious demarcation. I've tried that with varying degrees of success on shots taken through airplane windows.

Great work Debi, Its beautiful! The dark tree is a great addition. I see very faint mountain in the background, is there a way of dodging that area to being out more of it? It will surely look better.
