Chicago Skyline Fixed

This is fixed version of another photo that I have uploaded

previously. I have corrected the lens distortion and removed that

black cloud from center.

Any other comments are welcome.

your removed cloud Ok,

what I see o my monitor  is a small but visible discolouration   where cloud was

I don't know how you removed cloud, there is a several methods and combinations of them to archive good result

try heal brush with patch tool and maybe some extra cloning, but sample area close and horizontal to where you want to fix gradient sky

I find this  difficult too 

its tedious work sometimes especially when  your work with clouds 

but ones its done well nobody will tell the difference

I hope it helps you

regards

Hi Przemek Szczyrek

Now that you said it, I looked again and could see what you mean. Thanks for your comment. I used content aware fill in photoshop which automatically creates some clouds. But it looks like the edge of the selection area has a sharp color change. I will try to redo it with some gradient on the edges.

the are many ways as  you already know

there is nothing better than pair of eyes and human brain

content aware is a great tool, works but not always 100%

as I wrote above try some combinations of those tools, experiment a little

with practice you'll get  very good with it

cheers
