No HDR. It’s two extractions on two layers from the RAW file, one for the stones and one for the sky, then just erased the relevant area on the top later and flattened …. Then a laborious session of cloning out those pesky tourists.

The trees, hmmmmmm, good point, perhaps the cloning tool will be brought out again. I’m working on a dark & broody mono version for a friend who wants it framed up. TVM

I wouldn’t have thought of that one Art but I can see exactly what you mean. It would get rid of the majority at least. Thanks for the suggestion.

Of course there is always the ‘Kalashnikov’ approach but would I be able to bag the shot before the police arrived? Still, I’d get plenty of time at ‘Her Majesty’s Pleasure’ honing my PS skills afterwards

Cheers, Dave.
