A before and after of a shot I took while down in Disneyworld last month with the family...there was a lot of extraneous stuff in the photo that I just didn't want, so I fired up photoshop and put to use some of the stuff I've learned over the course of the last year or so...

Before:

After:

Taking the foreground iron fence was relatively easy, but the woman in the background, that was more challenging...

Wow.

Looks fine. Good job on the flag and speaker setup also.
The speaker tower fix looks the most off to me.

Nice to see you again Indy

Thanks Mark

It's taken awhile to get to a certain comfort level with Photoshop. Seems like every day I either learn something new or learn of a new feature that I hadn't seen before. The only downside is the time involved. But even that is getting better with each passing day. Lots of fun, tho

Four, I think:

Used an adjustment layer to drop the exposure slightly on the sky
Used an Adjustment layer to darken up the Epcot sphere
Used a duplicate background layer to add the bits of trees and skies to fill in some of the holes
And used an adjustment layer to play slightly with the levels a bit...
