Statue of Gregory of Nin by Ivan Meštrović, 1929.

in WS, the four most important steps of the HPP

the original wasn't good at all, just a poor snap
first, i cloned out the tourists
but the trees didn't help
I cloned them out partially, and then totally
still not satisfying...
the stairs were not good looking,
with the clone tool, I made them wider
the blue sky was too boring !
I add an old file of a sunset, with the technique of the layers & masks
i leaved a blue area around the finger, as if there was something magic going on
then, the big white frame, not sure about it...
maybe I could even add an effect more eye catching around the finger, or different light effect, however, i spent too much time for a single photo, a bad photo, now, it's... different... better ? maybe. great ? I can't say, but it was a fun experiment
the effect is unreal
with a strange and impossible lighting... or is it a different planet with two suns ?
