Hi Manu
I like what you have done here and can't quite see what the issue is that you have with the sky.
My method of working on this image would be to work on multiple layers and layer masks to hide and reveal certain parts of the images. Curves adjustment layers for a bit of dodging and burning.
Maybe a bit of an edge burn. But I think your approach has worked.
Mark

I think you are well ahead of me in actual PhotoShop technique (and I use PaintShop Pro, so the details of what I do would be different anyway) but I DO have a suggestion. A good set of plug-ins can save you an enormous amount of time, and get you near to your desired result very quickly, with only the final tweaking to be done manually. I suggest you explore the Power Retouche plug-ins. They can be tested free, and there are excellent tutorials on the site. Could save you a lot of time and effort. Some of the effects available from a single slider in the plug-in would require working in PS with several different tools. I particularly like the "B&W Studio" plug-in.

You are right, Jeanette, but I take two layers (one original, and one retouched) of the same shot togehther, and yuo add two distinct photos together - which is an even more powerfull tool, in this way you can create absolute sharpness in every depth etc. But you need almost identical photo's and hence, a tripod.
I trust you inderstand the idea?

Thanks very much Huub...I must admit it make the bridge look a little less re-touched, which is what I'm looking for...many thanks for the suggestion...I'll give it a go on the next one.
Cheers

Well....when in this situations i take two or more images of the same view and exposure differently and then in pS i add them together. You have to use tripod...
This shot attached are done like that just to show you. Not the best example, but Carsten Ranke are the master. Ask him!!!

I think you gained quality in the bridge (need of detail) but the sky suffered, becoming yellowish, so as a test I put the two together as layers (original under), selected the sky in the new one and deleted it. (a quick one, did not mind too much about the details. You need to find out how sharp the edges may be in the seletion)
And took away a bit of the grass, using the deeper shadows of the original one. What do you think?

too much work on the right photo!
I prefer one on the left...with a little +gamma!
for a nice silhouette with dramatic effect!
(but is only my opinion!!!!)
ciao
