The Castle
Uploaded: September 25, 2006
This is a Castle from Celle - Germany with the Sunset from Santa Monica - CA - USA. This is my first atempt to change the background and clone out some parts, after hours of work and some filters in PS CS2 I could get this image for Digital Darkroom. I will try to post the two images.

Wonderful image and outstanding PS work Adilson!,Nemil B. Chabebe September 26, 2006
Great work, looks real, just try to smooth the castle edges a little, if you do not mind, to make it looks more real. The colors and composition are great, the shadow of the castle matches like if is there and the horizon line with the angles are great. When I first saw the photo I could't tell. #3364828Linda Boehme September 26, 2006

Wowwww Adilson,awesome image!Great job on this! #3373456Jill Odice September 27, 2006
Great work Adilson...:-)An easy way to do this is to open your sky image and just drag the other on top of it, then use and eraser to erase what you don't want from the top one..Keep enlarging it to get in all the little spaces, and then use a light blur brush to go over the edges to blend them in, so there isn't a sahrp line...then flatten and you are done! :-) #3373620Jill Odice September 27, 2006
I meant a sharp line...:-) #3373622Adilson F. Ferreira September 27, 2006
