Natalia, thank you for sharing such a great event and sharing the history behind it. You might want to consider saturate some of the colors of the buildings and the sky. Possibly remove all the wires but it is part of the city. Posted: 10/02/2025 03:35:41
Natalia, this city has wonderful historic architecture; however, your photo story is about the marathon. Therefore, I cropped out the cars and much of the building on the right side. I used Luminar NEO to remove many of the wires, but some remnants could be removed a few at a time using PS remove tool. Last, I used Topaz Photo AI to enhance and sharpen the image.
