I like your second shot. Good work Jeff.

you didn't by any chance paste that moon in there? lol might just be the compression.....nice shots

I like the first one, but a better sky would have enhanced it tremendously (next time call up the weatherman and demand cooperation! LOL). The second one seems too stark of a contrast between the deep blue skies and the edges of the structure. Did you do any photoshop work on either?

well here is my try.....sry for taking your pic....i will gladly delete it from my computer and take it off the post.....if you want me to

Photoshop? Me?

Yep, this was one of my experiments with Photoshop Elements. The church was taken during the day and the sky ended up very light, almost gray, not to mention tremendously underexposed. I selected the church and brightened it, then selected the sky and ran a 201h warm sky filter on it to make it blue. Then I added the moon in from another shot.

I couldn't figure out how to do a better job selecting out the edges which is why they look darker.

BTW, I like the dark sky in the 'remake'. Feel free to keep remaking.

I also played with the first one. I kept the color of the reds and columns and changed the rest to B&W. That's where the sky went.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

Take care,
Jeff
