Lakeside deep in the wilderness of Kuusamo Finland.

Finland is a country of thousands of lakes and islands; 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands to be precise. One of these lakes, Saimaa, is the 5th largest in Europe. The Finnish landscape is mostly flat with few hills and its highest point, the Haltitunturi at 1,328 metres (4,357 ft), is found in the extreme north of Lapland. Beside the many lakes the landscape is dominated by extensive boreal forests (about 68 percent of land area) and little arable land.

noise reduction on sky only

I selected the sky area only and ran a noise reduction on it, then cloned out a speck of dust from the sky and ran a USM filter to sharpen then image very slightly.

Hope you like it.
