Taken two days ago, on the way home. The weather is mostly ugly here at this time of the year, but sometimes the sky opens up...

Hmm you caught me! I tried to light these areas up by applying a soft light layer in Paintshop. Looked ok on my monitor until right now, when I tuned the brightness up to 100%. Oops! Here is the pic again without the bloody layer:
I really need to find out more about image enhancement. Ideas as to what to do with this picture are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Nice photo. I saw what you did right away. You just need a little more precision in using your brushes. Try the trick of using the cut-out tool, just lightening the cut-out part, copying the lightened cut-out to the buffer. Then re-pasting it over the original. (Actually I use Photosuite 4 for that. It works much better than Photoshop).

I like what you did with the lightening of the buildings - it looks very eery. I agree that a little more precision with the technique is in order - but it is definately the right direction - looks good.

I confess that I went a bit mad with this. Hope you dont mind too much. It's all a bit red uptop now!!!!

...or a somewhat more subtle approach...btw: sorry for messing with your photo unasked...

Wow! No need for apologies, it looks great! I wouldn't call it "messing" either...
Thanks, Don and Toad! I will give it another try then - with more precision.

You're welcome. It's a great shot.
For the record (Photoshop CS): - select black area at the bottom of the original photo with magic wand - feather selection 2 px. - lighten the selected area with levels to the church level of lightness - use history brush to "paint" the original black into the trees - saturate the whole photo about 17% - unsharpen mask - 20, 3 0

The buildings look very Harry Potteresque!

Hey guerito... I like the shot, and your attempt too... at first it thought it was fog/smoke from the chimney
But the colour is wonderful - the sky really complements the colour of the buildings.
