Nature Photo Manipulation 1

This is my first attempt at making a wallpaper without using any stamps whatsoever. I took a combination of images and tried my best for now to blend them into the original which can be seen here.

I still have a very long way to go as I am currently using Paintshop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate edition software. In the near future I will be acquiring Photoshops latest edition. Im sure there will be quite a learning curve but im all for trying!

Im hoping for some real feedback! Criticisms and tips appreciated! Thanks!
