Post Piedmont Park

Piedmont Park in Atlanta is such a beautiful park. I could spend hours taking shots there. I believe this is a great shot, but I can't help but wish my photoshop skills were just a little better so I could add some detail in the buildings in the background. I wonder if the burn tool would have made a difference. I am still learning the basics of photoshop.

Did you shoot RAW? If you did, you might be able to darken the RAW file until you get more detail in the distant buildings and make a jpg out of that. You can then use a layer mask to blend in the distant buildings from that darker jpg. This is a good reason to bracket your shots.

This would be an alternative to the Burn tool.
