Technical: 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 at 21 mm (FF)
January last year, some snow. The church of our village. I took it directly in square format
LR: increased white, contrast, texture and dehaze. Decresed highlights. I removed the electrical wire with PS.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

...more comments to follow; but for now, what tool was used to remove the wire...please? Posted: 03/03/2025 10:10:14
PS with the brush and patience, as I am not a specialist.... Posted: 03/03/2025 11:10:11
Paul, there is also a new tool now in Photoshop that will take out unwanted wires. Posted: 03/16/2025 15:40:55
Please, tell me more...how do I locate that tool? Posted: 03/16/2025 16:02:14
I love the angle that you took the photo. How would it look with a darker sky for contrast? Posted: 03/13/2025 13:59:22
When ever I see images like this it always makes me want to rush around the front to see the main event. The angle and DOF is just right and those grave stones set the scene well. Some lovely stone work in the Church. Posted: 03/16/2025 07:59:33
Good use of "Wide Angle" to present a distorted view. You have done well to capture the building's texture (and to remove the wire). Well done! Posted: 03/16/2025 16:13:21
The angle provides a strong impact to bring the viewer in. The DOF gives dimension and great detail to the building. The angle of the wall frames the building and acts well as a leading line into the image. The tones and contrast are right on, and add to the overall impact.
Not sure I like the contrails, they are a bit distracting. They can be removed the same way as the electrical wires.
To remove the wires in Photoshop, create a new layer that will appear above the image layer. Then select the Remove tool, it is a new tool. With the Remove tool selected, select Find Distractions at the top and select Wires and Cables. It will then open a popup box, "Removing area...". This may take a while. Sometimes, it works well, other times, not so much. There can be more to this, depending on results. Any questions, let me know. Posted: 03/20/2025 04:11:16

David, thank you for the "removal" tutorial. Very helpful. Posted: 03/21/2025 15:34:59

Tilting the camera up, especially with a wide-angle lens, will give an extreme perspective, but it is not distortion, only the actual perspective of your viewpoint.
Personally, I like to keep some sense of looking upwards, so I suggest adjusting the perspective, but not entirely. How does this look to you? Posted: 03/26/2025 00:40:28

Thanks Stephen.
I like your proposition, and as you said, adjusting the perspective, but not entirely. Posted: 03/26/2025 10:36:21
