I liked the misty, pointy mountains in your first photo, John. Looks other worldly.

GREAT selections and compositions John. Glacier and Waimea are among my faves.

In reply to Reflections of an Untidy Mind.Thanks for those tips! I do plan some more experimenting with composites. Luminar makes that process a lot easier than I imagined.I like the idea of more of a silhouette on the lady. I was actually thinking when I finished that I should have lowered the exposure even more to make her a little more mysterious, and reflect the true backlight situation I created.I hadn't thought about the Waimea and stormy seas. You nailed it. I was actually surprised how easy it was to create the comet scene. With sky replacement in Luminar, the blending tools they provided made the melding of the two skies pretty easy.
