Tesco don't think we know how to stand at a cashpoint. Now we do. Every little helps I guess.
Saturday night at the cashpoint:
lol, a trip to any of my customers in Asia will make those few footprints look like a walk in the park, they literally have their employees remove any brain / common sense before coming to work each day...Saturday night at the cashpoint:
A few car detail shots from me. As always, feedback welcome and appreciated. It does help a novice like me get better!

Yeah it was harder than I thought because I added a graduated filter, struggled to get it all even.
Inverted Curves layer would be easier. Create 2 curves adjustment layers, bang one up in the middle, one down in the middle. Invert each of them (Ctrl+I I think on Windows) so the layer mask shows black.On the one you made brighter, take a white brush at around 15-20 pixels, 10% opacity and 10% flow and paint the darker bits on the layer mask. On the one you made darker, take a white brush at the same size, opacity and flow and paint the brighter bits to make them darker. You're dealing with shades of grey in the sky, so should be relatively simple to sort out
Sorry if you already knew this, but I prefer doing this than using clone/healing brush etc as they're too destructive to pixels. Adjustment layers leave more detail in the photo.

In the end I just created a new sky completely.
Lovely shot Tom.
Very bored today and fancied contributing to part 3. This wasn't easy for so many reasons; I wanted to use a strawberry but I'd eaten them, I don't have an external flash gun so I had to manually hold my marumi whilst dropping the cherry, my tripod can't hold my macro lens + body + battery grip and I couldn't find the original battery cover and last but not least, my dog likes milk and cherries.

Sounds like a walk in the park! Great result though. Might have a play at this myself sometime.Very bored today and fancied contributing to part 3.

Some great work on here as ever.
