Thanks the analyses. I did find the same shot this morning, prior to some cropping.

You're welcome, bwteim. Using low res pix to try to find where the photoshopping is done is pretty much of a guess. Need hi-res originals to do it properly.

The cluster of trees in the upper left portion may look larger than they should with the naked eye if the photogrpher used a telelphoto or moderate zoom lens.

Use of such a lens compresses the scene to some extent and may depict background objects in a t perspective other than normal.

My main computer just crashed bigtime on me and I'm using a really old Mac to get my mail and such. Will not be posting or back on line much until I can fix it. :< .
