The thin fabric in the bright light held some details. By applying another layer using "hard light", we can get a peak inside. I was wondering what she was carrying for the past month before I did this by accident!

It was built at the end of the 19th century by a local politician, whose ambition was to become the president of France, and thought he needed a mansion up to his ambition!
As a humanist, he had all the modern commodities installed ( Running water, central heating...)including in the servants' quarters.
During the 2nd WW, it was occupied by the Germans, and then bombed by the allies.
In the 1960's, it was bought by the general council of Finistère which turned the estate into a beautiful floral park, that reaches its peak of beauty in May, with rhododendrons and azaleas.
At Christmas times, they put up ehibits of Cribs and Christmas traditions from all over the world.

used the clone stamp to remove the water heater and the antenna;
perhaps this one can be considered as a "workshop to the workshop" of mesutilgim, who has done the same before

Tweaked the color balance a bit.

Brought the dark areas up a bit.

A level adjustment to lighten up the lower right rooftop. Pulled the green saturation down a bit.

Cropped a bit off the right to eliminate the gray corner.

Cloned partially and got rid of the water heater and the tv-antenna.

i couldn't help myself.. i just wanted to see what it looked like in b&w.. thought i'd share it.

when desaturated, the bright spots looked way blown out, so i did tweak them a bit. but no cropping or anything. did an unsharpen mask to see if i could bring out some contrasts that you can see on the floor...
