1- Layer mask so just the sky was workable.
2- Layer mask so only everything else was workable.
3- Tidy things up, final run of shadow/highlights, midtone contrast, selective colour and USM to finish.
And by the way, that big white thing on the nearest table is a discarded burger-box. It's a bit of an eyesore but adds a certain something to the picture when you see it in it's full size.
another awesome black adn white. i love the textures and the shades of gray that stand out on the pavement. i might play around with burning on the cloads, but probably just for kicks. i like it this way
Tez, this is beautiful! You've done a brilliant job at this and I must say, I love the b&ws. Amazing textures and leading lines here. Wish I knew how to do this. Very nice shot!!
