HDR image
Taken in color, then turned into monochrome image with history brush on the blue sky applied, then turned into HDR image in PS.

Love the effect you have created here - the grey buildings really stand out with the blue sky behind. I'd be tempted to clone out the wire, it distratcts a little but a gorgeous image all the same. #905988Rahela Lang May 26, 2008
Hi Geraldine, thanks for your comments and encouragement!I tried cloning out the wire, it's the part that goes over the church that distracts me as well, but I'm not that good with Photoshop yet - I keep getting the 'smudged' parts :(
I guess I will give it a go again when I get more practice in PS. #5978120

Hi Rahela, yes it is a painful process - the only way I've found effective with the clone tool for such a long piece is to clone one hit at a time - so you can't just clone and drag along, you need to alt-click and clone then alt-click and clone and so it is a very tedious process. This is still a very powerful image though. #5980630Rahela Lang June 14, 2008
Thank you very much for the hint, I kept getting the smudged parts and got discouraged and left the wire altogether.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
