two simular but slightly different approaches .... kind of funny 
(coincidence) that we both were working on skies at the same time. Thats why 
I joined in on this thread. This is a pretty good group of folks and it's 
nice to be able to bounce ideas and techniques around. I really respect the 
talents and approaches of some of the folks here .... math, logic .... etc. 
I'm kind of a trial and error guy, so I'm constantly blown away at some of 
the stuff I seen over the past couple of years.

hmmmm .... I guess I see your point. I think I've always seen the sky as 
dressing around the scene. I'm working on shore grass, a fishing dory and 
some other ground cover for this scene.

 yep .... it's the moon although a rough draft version. I have a shooting 
star that I used Nathan Kopp's Lens Flare include to put a sparkle on the 
head of the star trail .... that's a work in progress too.
