Take Off with new levels

Joan @joansmor just wondering if you think these levels work better?

Thank you so much for your comments and favs on this osprey, just experimenting with the clouds to make them look more natural.
Critique welcome.
Check below for the first osprey, which one looks more natural?

Much more realistic

Had to see how you did. It was pretty good as I said and will probably take you to tt. But also relieved to see that some agreed with me. The bird is the focal point here. But 365 loves a dramatic sky . lol
