  Well, I am new to photoshop so I will do my best to try to explain! First I took out the background with the magic extractor and added a gradient layer which is the blue, then I adjusted the color curve of the house alone and then did a luminosity layer which brought the blue down throughout the photo. Does that make sense?! :-) I thought after the last step it looked unique so stopped playing and saved it! Thanks for the compliment!

  Thanks Sharon, I bought the book "Photoshop for Dummmies" and I am muddling through it! I have a lot to learn :-) I noticed that you have the same camera as I do, I just bought mine a few weeks ago...any suggestions on a good zoom lens for it? Thanks!
