I just work a little bit on curves, on green saturation and apply overlay on the sky with blue, trying to change the dark mood. The result is something lighter and different. I think we have two nice images with different moods. Do you like it?

To make color lighter with level.

Here's what I did...

As in my other I used skew tool to about 117% I believe I corrected much more on the left side (away from dome) than the right. I also ran auto-levels and played with contrast. It looks a bit stretched like this but using the skew on the original size of the image shouldn't result in such a stretched feel.

I did some work with your picture. It's my first WS and I did the things I suggested in previous message. I hope you'll like it.

Sharpened twice & applied auto levels using magic wand on the columns. (APS).

Increased contrast +8
Used median filter on the sky at a radius of 4

Hi Jan, sorry it's been so long. I decided to work on a perspective correction.
1) Increase canvas size
2) Select all (Ctl-A)
3) Free transform (Ctl-T)
4) There will be a dot in the center that you drag down to the bottom middle of the frame and it will lock there, this serves as an anchor point for the remainder of the free transform
5)Bring two vertical bars onto the photo to serve as reference bars. You can do this by ensuring the rules are visible and simply holding the L mouse button down over the vertical ruler and dragging the reference bar over your photo. I usually do this near part of the building I want to be straight
6) While holding the "Ctl" key,you select the R upper corner and drag it until you get your building straight on the right. You then repeat this using the Left upper corner. At the end, you need to elongate the picture by dragging the middle top tab straight up.
7) This sometimes makes the picture look bloated, so you use a filter: Distort_Pinch set to about 5% which helps a bit.
8) Sharpen

This technique was taken from Scott Kelby's book "The photoshop CS book for digital photographers."

As you can imagine, it works but at the sacrifice of sharpness, so it's a balance. I think a shot like this, with really strong contrast is more difficult. Try playing with this yourself, and if it's not clear, I can send you the technique in more detail.

Regards,

Don

Regarding the critique of Josse (thanks friend) I made a workshop for this magnificent photo: Brightness, saturation and unsharp mask! Hope to like it!
