Paris edit

[mikerob2334]

This may be bending the rules slightly but technically it's one photo. This was actually taken by my dad a few years ago in Paris. He asked me to remove the people and to do something with the sky. My question is the sky believable? Any other comments on the processing are also welcome.

I'd say you've done well with the sky and the exposure. I'm sure he'll be very pleased.

Yeah defo believable... really good job!

Thanks guys! I went through a lot of skies to find one I thought would work. After looking at it for so long during processing, I wasn't sure anymore.

Haha you probably over analysed it! I think a lot of us do that!

Really think you've done a great job and brought life to a plain and uninspiring scene (no offence to your dad)

Your edited image has a lot more life now. The sky looks good. The image does have an HDR feel to it now.

Thanks, been trying to get him out of AUTO mode. They take trips all the time and it kills me to look at some of the photos and think what could have been changed.

Thanks, after adding the sky and cloning I used Topaz Adjust on it.
