Hello Kayleigh Hope you did`nt mind but I liked this pic so took it into photoshop to have a play about with,
1.Straightened up Horizon
2.Changed to B&W using Channel Mixer in photoshop
3.adjusted levels
4. did some burning in using burn and dodge tools on sky and hillside

hope you like it .

I did straighten it lol
you should have seen it before the leaning tower of pisa had nothing on it..

I also darkened it as I thought it looked more moody but my hubby liked it light too..
I have been learning and playing around with them too..
I do love this monument light and dark the lighter brings out the stonework..

Play as much as you like Bill I am learning all the time..
Don't understand "burning yet"

I think burning is where you darken specific areas to make it blend more,
i.e I did this on the tires of cars when I cut and paste them onto a studio background which had a black floor.

Cheers Connor, But I still dont know how to darken parts I can manage to darken or lighten the whole pic..

I think this monument looks good light or dark..

all the more complex programs will have a burn tool, where you brush the areas you want to burn or you can lasso the selected area and just burn it that way.
