I liked the original but felt that there were areas where improvements could be made, my intention was to give Eric a few pointers regarding my suggestions, in my defence I have to say that I was working with the image uploaded to this site and not with the original image file. I spent about 15 minutes in total burning in extra density to the upper part of the tower using the burn tool on the Photoshop tools panel, I then moved down to the lower part of the building and again burnt in some extra density to the front tower and the tower with the flagpole. Again using the burn tool I selectively worked on the road area to fill in some of the burnt out areas and using a large size burning tool added a little density to the trees and street lights. I moved to the image adjust, shadow & highlight tool and made adjustments there which brought out some more detail in the buildings on the right Using my method of burning in, the top of the tower has retained the density of the original rather than just darkening the whole building. I am aware that mine is not a suitable version for uploading but it was just my rapid attempt to encourage Eric to revisit his image and see what extra detail he could bring out in his image, I am sure you will agree that his revised image is much better than his original so I feel our exchange of private correspondence over this image and the end result has been well worth it, please do not make comparisons between the three versions above as that was not the intention, my idea was to point out that there was much more potential for that image.
