An enchanting evening

Once again the Peña Oroel is the protagonist of the blog, but it has to be... In this case I have to say, there is something of trap because the sky was not like that. I wanted to try to work with layers in ACDSee adding some texture to the sky, and I mixed (with an opacity of 60%) another sky at sunset because today's sky was quite soft. I think ACDSee is a spectacular tool to organize and edit photos, it has so many options that one gets lost, and at a really cheap price (by the way, if someone wants to use it, I have a discount, leave a comment and I'll pass it on).
It's been 10 minutes of editing it, could it be better? Of course, I haven't worked the edges as I should in terms of detail in trees; but I'm quite happy with how to handle the masking tool in the application, maybe for the next day and with a photo of the Canon EOS 6D I'll dedicate more time to it.

Una vez más la Peña Oroel es protagonista del blog, pero es que tiene que serlo... En este caso he de decirlo, hay algo de trampa pues el cielo no estaba así. He querido probar a trabajar con capas en ACDSee añadiendo algo de textura al cielo, y he mezclado (con una opacidad al 60%) otro cielo al atardecer pues el de hoy era bastante soso. ACDSee me parece una herramienta espectacular para organizar y editar fotos, tiene tantas opciones que uno se pierde, y a precio realmente económico (por cierto, si alguien quiere usarlo, tengo descuento, dejar un comentario y lo paso).
Han sido 10 minutos de editarla, ¿podría quedar mejor? Por supuesto, los bordes no los he trabajado lo que debería en cuanto a nivel de detalle en árboles; pero estoy bastante contento con como manejar la herramienta de máscaras la aplicación, quizá para el próximo día y con una foto de la Canon EOS 6D le dedicaré más tiempo.
Perhaps someone will come along and be thrilled to use your discount for ACDSee... I've just bought a week-long class with 20+ teachers covering the many aspects of PhotoShop. I've used PS for years, but I know there is so much there I've never looked into! The sessions were offered for free, but to keep and use them forever, there was a reasonable price, and I'll need a lot of time to check back on them again and again! I love what you accomplished here with the sky over the mountain as it looks perfectly natural...and isn't that the ultimate goal?! Well done!

I think this came out quite nicely, including the way the lighting bounces from the lower part of the cliffs. Works well!

@Weezilou PS is a really great tool, and so powerfull; but I through it away and changed to Affinity Photo because PS charges waaaaay too much each month, and once you buy affinity is yours forever (updates included), and now costs 30€. I really reomend you taking a lookt into it, same tools as PS. BTW, hope you enjoy that course and learn a lot!!!! :D :D Also, thanks for your comment

@taffy thank you! I tried working on that also at ACDSee
