How I Did It



I also did some curve work, I can post those changes if you like..

I especially like the "after" image, the sky was really that color of blue (I took a few jpeg shots to catch the colors of the day)

I am liking this new hobby more and more every day.

Nice work. There is a spot just above the flag. You may want to look at your sensor or lens for cleaning.

[Cliffs]

I knew somebody would catch that...therefore, for your viewing pleasure...flag needs replacing, as it is starting to fray.

Believe me I saw that and had a minor panic attack...dust....OH NOOOOOO

[PhilUK]

Well, I applaud your accuracy in leaving the fraying in. However since you've done a lot of good work already you might as well go the whole hog and clone it out!

QueenB, that was the true color of the sky that day. Up here in N.E. we have had so much gloom and doom weather that the sky just exploded with blue.


Thanks for all the feedback so far...this is gonna be a great ride this photo stuffz.

Good Job....But if it were me I would try and clone in something in the background sky...cresent moon....Airforce jet....but just a hint nothing too over the top....Paul

Now that would just plain change the facts of the story!
