One of my favorite times of the year in Sydney is late Spring. The lower North Shore suburbs explode with purple spots as Jacaranda trees burst into Blume. In the middle of Suburbia, the power lines have always been a challenge, but then presto, Photoshop introduces remove wires and bang, they disappear. I’ve also used the remove tool extensively to eliminate distractions. The green tree's middle to top L/H side has also been expanded to achieve a balanced crescent head on the foliage.

Brian, the color contrast is fetching. I like what you did with the remove tool, one my favorite tools. I'd say, keep a good thing going, e.g., removing those white cars. You might also consider darkening the white wall and even the light gray street to draw even more attention to the lovely trees. Posted: 01/16/2025 19:25:37
Brian: A beautiful capture. Suggest you remove the cars in the background. I would also try a sky replacement to further the vibrance of the trees.
