A peaceful image, Fanie.  It should reflect your state of mind.

I like the gesture of the shot and the B&W...but there seems to be a bit of a halo around the people.  Not sure if that is from the direction of the sun or from some shadow recovery in post.

Thank you for pointing it out Andrew, I went back and had a look at what I have done, and it seems that using U-points in Nik to dramatise the sky made this halo, which is a bit distracting.

Attached is an earlier version I did with less editing in the sky, and where the halo is much less.

I would appreciate a comment on the this one as well, although a bit more bland, the halo is much reduced.

Fanie, I prefer the first, halos and all.  Nik control points are tough to get just right.

Awesome shot

editing ... so many alternatives :)

u-points are indeed hard to control , I combine the plus and the negatives, varying the size to get the effect where I want it , and still sometimes gets side effects I do not like

lately I will do an extreme edit and more bland one and combine them as layers in PS , and then deal with masking :)

I do like the image
