You have very good eyes Lonnit :) Didn't notice that, but now that you've pointed it out I can't see how I could have missed it. I've removed it and uploaded a new version. I've checked some other pictures and it's there (although less obvious) in most of them, so looks like I've picked up a hot pixel. Thanks again =)

Much better. :) Yes, the first two spires on the left could use a tad more work, mostly to thier right sides, but this is a huge improvement. BTW, not your fault, but is that a hot pixel you have thereon the left and the top of the second fence that angles up? I see a bright red pixel. I don't recall seeing that before. Perhaps it's not and you just accidentally droped a pixels worth of red "paint" on the shot when you were editing it. I do like this shot; it's very postcardy. :) ~ Lonnit

I uploaded a new version... still not perfect in the top left corner, but at least there's some colour there now.

Thanks for the tip Lonnit :)
I'll dig up the original and see what I can do with it.

The shot is really good, the sky is problematic. Your saturating caused purplish outlines around all the things on the left half that stick up into the sky. You could try saturating the sky on a new layer and then mask it, then fill with white, switch to black and paint back into it with about a 15% opacity, feathered brush and you'll get the transitions much smoother. It's a nice, quick way to do it without all the tedious masking. When you mess up, switch it back to a white brush and paint over your errors. Have fun! ~ Lonnit

Thanks =) I agree that the top left corner should have been fixed, but it's difficult to do something and make it look natural with all the detail that's in the building up there. I darkened and saturated the right side of the sky a bit, but there's nothing left on the left.

Now that is complex. one of the busiest images i have seen but you pulled it off nicely with your composition. for the '*'...it would be nice if you could do something about top-left corner sky. -Abstract
