    thanks for the feedback! Something about this I liked when I looked at it, but once I started messing with it I was having a really hard time making into anything I liked... hence my posting it here. I didn't necessarily want to get rid of the camera person (who is actually a dude ), just do SOMETHING over there. Here is my final stab at it before I abandon it... I used the coloring from my last attempt, rotated it slightly to straighten the tower, and then I did some content-aware scaling to put the tower off center, rather than crop... mostly just to mess around with that tool An interesting learning project at the lest. Here it is.

    My brain does that all of the time... reading one thing that has a different meaning... that is why it is so scary for me to post things. sigh... anywho

    I cracked up with the dude vs lady thing.

    As long as you are happy with what you are producing that is all that really matters!

    Here's my last shot at it ...

    cropped and cloned a bit to remove the human and then because it left the tower a bit too centered for my liking in this shot I made a feature of the sky ...

    Like that touch with the cloud MA..really brings the stone building out!

    I just got a new program and fooling around with option I wouldn't really use..like lets say (night vision) ha ha..but thought this would be a cool image to try it out!

    I'd say if you like the person in it..do so but my preference would be no. I did a crop but its a square one.

    Can't wait to see the final product!

    MA, stole my idea. I cloned out the person as well but went with a different technique. Just another version I guess.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    all very cool... I unfortunately went to try something completely different and saved over my previous file, so I think I'm abandoning this one for now! Note to self: set up version control for photo work. Thanks for all the feedback though guys, twas a good learning experience!

    THe first think you must look when touching up a picture is focus, you must chose WHERE to apply the sharp and not just sharpen all the picture, the other thing actually I think you make it first, check out for chromatic, barrel and aspheric aberrations correct that first with lens correction or other tool since it will affect the picture overrall. Specially important if you are using a kit lens.
    THis picture of yours seems a bit over interpolated I dont know if its a camera issue or you did it on purpose, but study the best sharpen radius for your camera
