Very nice PP result of a well taken photograph!

I personally despise aerial power and communication cables due to their visual pollution. There are many appealing cityscapes that you can’t appreciate due to the excessive accumulation of distracting power/communications cables. PaintShop Pro has a linear scratch elimination tool that works wonders on them though.

Thank you.

Thanks for looking and your opinion. I do not know how to remove pole from this picture except cropping. If you know please do it.

Beautiful job. Your patience has been rewarded with that finished product. My preference: the desaturated version. It is still animated and colorful, but, in my opinion, more realistic.

Thank you for looking, your compliments and your opinion.

Thank you, MMC! I will try to add the original to this reply. I can't recall the exact steps I used...I just manipulated the sliders until I ended up with what you see :)

Thank you for posting the original.

Source for printing, and type of paper to use.

My son and grandson. I would like to have a couple of prints made and would appreciate advice on a source that can respect the square formatting and provide whatever type of paper you recommend. I'm guessing that I would like to see the print on a matte finish "art" paper that reinforces the soft warm feel of the portrait.

Any other advice will be appreciated.

I am sorry for truing to fix your picture without permission.
