Does anyone know how to make a template for watermarks that will blend in with the photo? I have Photoshop C5.

I really like this built-in straw.

Thanks, Debbie. Glad you like the train photos. They were taken in pouring rain. If you look closely, you can see it.

I'm going to with #2 as my favorite. I like the framing, the colors and the focus seems to be fine. A couple of things you may want to think about. A washed out sky has always bothered me. I would suggest a circuilar poulizer filter for you lens if you have that option. With one your are able to add some color to the sky. Another thing to think about is the time of time - most tourism shots happen during the bright part of the day, so often we have little choice but to take our pictures during the worst part of day in regard to natural light. Dawn and dusk are much better when one can. Another method when you do not have a sky is to shoot low and maybe closer to you subject to rid the frame of what you do not want. I have added 3 different examples of what I like to see in skies or how to rid the frame of most of. I also use, or over use Photshop Elemtents which I highly recommend. As in anything I ever share, all are most welcome to ignore or not as they like.
