She didn't step on the balcony - security reasons - when I did call her. :)

And this is a sunset with serious issues; I might try to do another one one day. Never seem to get it right.

Next time try to get the Sun behind the church, perhaps you will get a better effect.
Thank you for posting here Steve :) -

Thanks again for the comments and the effort taken to improve my image.
And yes the crop is better, don't know what I was thinking when I did that origianl crop

Thanks Antonio,
Did you do those adjustments to the image that Dave posted or did you take the second image on my post?
I appreciate the time you have taken to post your workflow. I'll take note of that and play around a little on photoshop myself.
RE the ND graduated filter. I am pretty sure I had either a 0.6 or a 0.9 on when i shot the pic. I think in future I'll preserve those sky highlights and sacrifice forground brightness as I think this is what you are driving at with your comment about meetering the sky. Good advice and thanks again :) -

27th July 2011, 08:04 PMdjeRe: Landscapes - Please post them hereHans for tone mapping I use an inexpensive Photoshop plug-in called "ReDynamix" from Media Chance. This contains some of the tone mapping functionality of their stand-alone HDR software.Quote:
