yeah I am no artist sorry about my skills but thanks for the feedback guys and yeah I probably way over did it. But I think it works in bringing the foreground more prominent a much subtler effect would work just as well.
As for the Aura Haze all I am saying is that again fading into black not straight cutting in to jet black. A much smaller Haze yeah for sure, but I think it should have a Haze more like in your 2nd photo.
