Just wondering...does the yellow tent extending from the lower left of the frame or the piece of fencing at the very bottom right cause distractions?

To me it does, the fence not so much, but the tent definitely, although I would get rid of both.

And then I would try to burn the hot spot on the dome.

Not a bad idea, I just darkened it a little bit

How did you accomplish that? I have PS Elements that came with my PC and Nikon View NX2 that came with my camera.

If you leave it as a horizontal and try working on the fence, you'll lose the bottoms of the trees. I think losing that would be a detriment. So you'd have to be VERY good at cloning. The tent definitely needs to go. I like the vertical version that someone posted, and I think it shows the image you wanted perhaps.

I just filled it with color I sampled from the neighboring area and lowered the opacity, about a 10sec. fix.

I agree...the horizontal image does look better and it removes the distractions I was talking about.

The fence doesn't, but the tent does.

Just love the gold dome framed by the trees! Good job, Triplets!
