A re-edit of an older shot.

Looks nice on first glance Tom, but the cloning is really sloppy on the sky

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.

Interesting.

I don't think it quite works as it is, but it is interesting and not far from very interesting.

[GFWilliams]

The details are very very frustrating!

I can see a whole theme here of national dishes forming the national flag - India and Mexico would be easy.....

Thanks

Had they had some chorizo and manchego I might have been able to predict the winner

I bought a lensbaby last time I was offshore, boredom and internet access is a bad combination for me.
The shots do make my eyes go funny though...
