To improve colors of the skies on this picture I used original RAW file, Adobe camera RAW plugin and followed the steps of the great lesson by Russell Brown ”The Adobe Camera RAW Luminosity Technique”. Then the image was slightly rotated and cropped. At the end I removed all visible dust here. Hope that now it looks better :-).

Thank you Jeremy, Asa and Daniel for your speedy replies and critiques about vertical distorsision of the building of this church (a bit titling on the right). Following by your suggestions I improved this mistake in Photoshop using a grid and horizontal skew tool. Hope that now it looks better :-)

Levels and light correction in dark areas. Saturation and sharpness were incresed, but not so much to make it more real if compare with previous workshop by Jean-Yves. I that now it is more pretty and colorful then before. Hope you like.

I used Photoshop to make this picture better. Of course I corrected levels and perspective distortion using ImageAlignPro. I have spent a lot of time using stamp and healing brush tool to cut off all distracting wires and one walker. Hope, you like this church at the end of my work here...

Just a crop...
This way the bell tower is placed on an upward looking direction at the end of the photo reading.

I tried for the first time to use PS in order to modify a shot. I hope you like it.

Цветокоррекция, чуть добавил теней, увеличил насыщенность красного, переделал рамку.

Your photo is great. I just did a little retouching. Increased contrast, decrease exposure a little bit and did sharpening. Hope you like it.

I liked this image a lot, but felt that the trees took away from the reflection. I used the rubber stamp tool at 100% opacity in PhotoShop to remove the tree. I then I change the opacity to 53% to smooth the colors together.

Finally I added a white frame to bring the colors out. I hope you approve.
