Dark skies

If you don't already have one, make a new folder in your photo library devoted just to dramatic sky pictures.  Start collecting powerful skies, especially gray and stormy ones.  These can be used as backdrops to many kinds of pictures.  In this particular case, I didn't replace the sky but I darkened it and made it more moody and dynamic than it originally was.  Skies like this contribute significantly to pictures, and they can totally transform images.  This picture shows a relatively new work of art -- The Kelpies -- in Grangemouth, Scotland.  It's a huge, stunning sculpture.
