Hi all, The Town Hall (French: Hôtel de Ville, Dutch: Stadhuis (help·info)) of the City of Brussels is a Gothic building from the Middle Ages. It is located on the famous Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium.

this is a very difficult shoot because of the people, so I tried to edit them out of the pic, can you please critic edition?
Thanks Art

this is truly a beautiful gothic bldg. but since the building is your subject, i find it too dark and the heads of the couple in the middle and on the left side distracts from the building.
you should have waited a bit and catch some portions covered by the heads to help you edit away these heads. but since you do not have this extra images, maybe you can clone out the heads using the ground as your source point and select a column and paste them over the covered columns. and finally lighten it a bit to show more detail of the building.
attached is a sample of what i mean

Thanks for your comments, what did you use to remove the people? how did you light the buiding?

hi art, i used the rubberstamp tool (clone tool) and for the columns, the lasso tool and duplicated the selected column and moved it over the portion with people to cover it.
i lightened the building using levels after selecting the sky with the magic wand and then inversed the selection to select the building.

You've done a great job with the editing. I cant imagine how much patience it would have required! And I agree, looks a little dark. Edbayani's version looks about right. Nice shot btw.

Thanks for your comments, sometimes it takes time, sometimes it is faster than you expect to finish it
