beautiful result rob ... interested in those three resizes in a row ... must be a reason and i'd love to know wot it is!! :) .. like is it better to resize in smaller increments than to do it all at once??? ...
love the beautiful blue you've achieved and the excellent tones in the steeple ...
Well this does NOT look like the work of someone unskilled in PS. I'm very impressed with the clarity you have been able to achieve in relation to the original post. Quite a difference. I really like the depth of color and the richness in the tonality. Very nice editing in my book.
I like how your edit brought out the detail on the church - very good work there! I think the sky may be a bit too blue but not by a whole lot. And there's something in the clouds just right of the steeple - it may be a bird, but you may want to clone it anyway. Very nice work on this!
