Hi LuDevine,

No worries about the sky from me. I think it works really well.

Love your unusual POV here, really startling image. Lots of interest, detail, contrasts throughout the shot.

Great contribution to the theme,

TFS,

I think you've done a great job with the sky here LuDivine! It looks spectacular and it looks believable.

The subject chosen here and the POV are both stunning, too! Great shot!

Very impressive - majestic too.
I'm not sure about the coloured sky - but I think the building itself doesn't need anything else - it's quite grand on its own.

the replacement of the sky is good imo Lu, just maybe you can brush it with burn brush that set to highlight. Also before you flatten you can make it more natural if you remove white matte, or you can reduce the white bright of the building (usually by it's contrast) with defringe, just set to 3-5 pixel. Btw I like the pov you have here :)

Hello LuDivine,

Your pov makes the most stunning shot of this building! It captures the height, the magnificence, the brick details, the contours and the ornamentation!
Then, when the eyes reach the top, there is this surreal sky!

I like it very much! Well done!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ludevine

A superb shot of the building here, wonderful POV with good detail and texture. I think the sky works depending on your interpretation. It looks here as though the top of the tower is on fire with dark smoke and orange flame reflections. So if that was tour intention then its fine. If not then maybe just simple blue sky with whispy clouds would have been fine

Lovely post my friend

TFS regards Helen

Nice POV and detailed textures. I'm not sure about the unnatural sky though. I keep thinking about movies as 'Conan The Barbarian' :-) But I have to admit, it gives the scene a dramatic feeling. The lighting on those two protuding things (do not know the English word for it) is completely different from what you would expect from the sky above, which is probably why it feels forced to me. But overall a great experience. I've learned something again, so therefore 'thanks'!

Bonne soirée.

Well done LuDivine,
The sky compliments the colour of the building. The blue looks a little out of place, if the whole sky was afire, the whole composition would come together perfectly.
Many a fine image falls short because of the sky that was there at the time.
I don't have a problem 'enhancing' a shot, we all like to present our work in the best possible light.
Cheers,
Pete.
