I think @dahliaambrose wrote an article on masking a while back that you might be interested in. It’s much more accurate for gradients if you have the patience.

So, some of the back story;

This statue, The Pieta is found in the Cathedral of St. Paul in St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s a US National Shrine and Pilgrimage Site. I’ve been waiting to get back in here for a while now. It’s was closed off to visitors due to COVID for about a year.

It’s funny. In my Minnesota Photo group they all picked the color!

Heyy @dahliaambrose : Thank you:-) Awesome to be here…..Shall share pics soon:-)

Thanks  @reyers @admin @dahliaambrose @robertapple appreciate the input and I will play with a bit more using your comments. I did have a go at home on the big screen and never finished so I am back on the little screen for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for commenting @dahliaambrose I totally agree with you, it would have added to the shot. Only the direction was not favourable for the sun or moon. I am at work so I’m doing post at the moment in my room at work and it’s a 13″ Mac screen I’m working with, so I guess I not getting the best views 🙁

Didn’t you write a full tutorial on this @dahliaambrose?

Thanks for your feedback.

There are a few things I noticed about this.

1. This is my favorite spot in the Minnesota Zoo. It’s called the Russian Coast. The 3 bears have a huge place to live and play. The small exhibit area is usually crowded, so photos are usually a “photo of opportunity”. Based on your feedback I see…

@loki, @dahliaambrose.

Yeah, I totally went fast on the Photoshop healing tool, just to see what the impact would be. It sort of turned out. Thanks so much for your feedback! I enjoyed this discussion. I learned a lot.

@loki, @dahliaambrose, @erik-fransman

I took some of your advice and made some edits, take a look.

So here’s what I was attempting to do:

• I wanted to give the lighthouse plenty of room in the foreground to give it space on the hill and elevate it.
• I wanted to use that path to draw the eye around the side and over to the lighthouse. I spent time on post to bring out that path for that reason. Some people…
