4 Jan 25 Reply Here you go Guy. Two easy steps. Use magnetic Lasso or equivalent to get the area outside the pillar on the left. Modify by expanding and feathering a couple of pixels. Make a new layer and flip it.

Expand the canvas on the right to accept the larger piece. Move the new layer to the right side.

Essentially do the same with the area inside the left pillar. This one requires a small but of erasing after you move the area to the right side. Then collapse into a single layer.

4 Jan 25 Reply Guy, Not too late. Would you like me to show you a fix? I'd be happy to do it. Jan 11th
4 Jan 25 Comment Guy, these statues at High altars, etc are hard to capture correctly, but I feel you have done a fine job of getting the shadow detail without blowing out the highlights. I think your adjustment to color temperature was spot on as well.

If you have moved just a slosh to the right you could have gotten complete symmetry in the background detail.

4 Jan 25 Comment Ian, for my eye you have successfully broken all of the rules of photography with this one. You and I have always been taught that dis-symmetry left to right does not work well in an image. But for me I find this captivating. My eye starts at the steps and the wall on the right, moves up to the "peak" at the top and then down the curve to the water flowing in. I can envision two of these framed and on the wall. One being the horizontal reverse of the other with the left side of your current being in the center. I believe I could stare at it for hours! Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year! PS Have scheduled a "holiday" this September in Scotland and Ireland. A trip I have always wanted to make. Jan 11th
4 Jan 25 Comment Bill, you know me, I am a sucker for architecture and detail. For me I really enjoy the detail you have captured in the image. The foreground sculptures, the people, the chandelier the skylight and the reflection pattern on the upper right caused by the sun all add to the interest of the image for me. AS usual the sharpness, brightness and color all add to the image.

For me, also being a fan of symmetry, I couldn't help duplicating and flipping the right half. The VF is what I got. Let me know what you think. Happy New Year!

4 Jan 25 Comment Erik, as always, you have a good eye. From my experience. Shadows in the foreground To challenge the Mesa in the back as the fixation point for the viewers eye. Rather, it supports it and adds to the depth of a picture. The color balance and lighting are spot on. I just wonder what you might've got if you could've include (two) Entirely in the image. If I were judging this would certainly be accepted and possibly singled out for further variety. Looking forward to seeing you and Betty Sue very soon. Again, let me know if you're going to Orlando at the end of the month. We are traveling this weekend. Jan 2nd
4 Jan 25 Comment Vella, this is a very interesting picture and contains a very interesting story in my opinion. To me the story is all about doing the laundry. As such, I would leave everything associated with laundry in the image. That includes the entire bucket in the foreground. I might have done more with this if it were not on my iPad, but in the VF, I have left that bucket totally in the image. And happy new year! Jan 2nd
4 Jan 25 Comment Great shot Isaac. I've looked it over carefully and other than the jet trails, is there something else that's not identical? They look exactly the same to me. I'll have to give this a try sometime. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year! Jan 2nd
