    Another hanger! Masterpiece! Bravo!
    Minutest of quibble would be that the top of the arrow is getting clipped....
    Cheers!

    15524779-Ti.gif Beautiful building but needs just a little space for the top. The foreground fountain is centered nicely.

    Lovely, and moody. Agree with above -- needs more room at the top. A good editing program should be able to fix that right up for you..

    Thanks David for liking the picture. I do not know about any editing program to make room at the top which was not in the original picture. Nevertheless, I post some more pictures of the great mausolium.

    Doesn't Photoshop have "Content aware fill?" Increase the canvas size (at the top) and select an area(s) and paint it in from below?

    Thanks David. In fact I am not very coversant with Photoshop. However, I will do as suggested by you.

    I don't currently use PS, so take my words as here-say only. But I know I can do it with an ancient copy of Paint Shop Pro, so modern PS should more than have the power to do that. I wouldn't subscribe at $10/month just to re-work that one shot, though.

    CCROY, I sent a PM. Only with your permission...I could post your beautiful Tomb picture with the added sky adjustments using PS. rolleyes1.gif

    Beautiful shot. I'd add in that extra space at the top for sure. nod.gif

    Posted with permission from CCROY. My frame work is not near as beautiful as CCROY's original. Sky added using "Crop"---> "Rectangular Marquee Tool" to select ---->"Fill" ---->"Content Aware" in PS CC. A lovely scene by CCROY!
    On another note, the small section of the "cupola" cut off in the original shot would have to be painted in and I didn't want it to look that way so I excluded that small piece of the original structure which can be seen in his subsequent views. Thank you CCROY for a wonderful picture!

    Thanks for the PP. It certainly looks better now. I must learn these nuances in processing
