All I did was crop in from the right-hand side and lower edge.

I feel the white gate shows up more and the area on the right doesn't get my attention so much now.

I hope you like it.

Accepting the challenge just for fun.

I know , it is not as it was captured, but I added a bit more space above her head, and cloned the third kid, and shadow of the pier.
I hope you will like it .

PS. Too many things to do at home , I won't go in Montreal over the week-end, I have my share of driving lately too (^_^). Hopefully they will stop by as planned during the week. I will certianly pass the message.

Take care of yourself first. Hopefully , I will have the pleasure to meet you later too !
Cheers!

This tighter PoV makes the most of the steeple, but you can see how the light sky would not work in a collage with the other two

As said in my crit, Silke.
I made this ws not to improve what you did, but to show you how I would present it...

Extracted the picture and put it in a new layer. Removed it from the backdrop to retain the frame.

Selected the pic layer, rotated via the transform layers tool. Then selected the edges, removed the walls you used as boundaries, inverted the selection and deleted the pixels inside.

Then restored the drop shadow and stroke, but I used a black outer line instead of a white one.

Adjustment layers for levels and curves, on top of that I also used the shadows/highlights too (0/3). I like what this combination did to the overall colour saturation, but perhaps it's a bit too much...

curves, saturation, contrast

to punch up this image a little more, I adjusted the curves, increased the overall colour saturation and the contrast. What do you think of the changes?
